Amitabh Bachchan took to his blog on Thursday to mourn the demise of veteran comedian Jagdeep. Big B and Jagdeep were co-stars in films like "Sholay" (1975) and "Shahenshah" (1988). Jagdeep played the iconic character of Soorma Bhopali in Ramesh Sippy's blockbuster movie "Sholay" starring Dharmendra, Amitabh Bachchan, Amjad Khan and Sanjeev Kumar in key roles.

Apart from working with Jagdeep as a co-star, Bachchan had featured as a guest artiste in a film produced by him. "Last night we lost another gem .. Jagdeep .. the actor of exceptional comedic repertoire, passed away .."
