Mumbai: Through his regular Twitter video talk session with himself titled When Bittu Meets Anupam, veteran actor Anupam Kher on Friday paid tribute to the two remarkable actors - Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor - who passed away earlier this week.
In the video, the 65-year-old actor is seen in a dual role, portraying himself as well as the character Bittu.
Both Bittu and Kher are seen as having a deep conversation about life, death and the two departed souls.
As the video begins Bittu is seen consoling heartbroken Anupam who seems nostalgic as he remembers the moments he spent with Rishi Kapoor. Besides that, Kher is also seen admiring Irrfan Khan's work as a brilliant actor.
As the video approaches towards the end, Bittu is seen enlightening Anupam with the thought that the lives of great personalities like Irrfan and Rishi are meant to be celebrated and not to be mourned.

"Let's celebrate their lives and remind people what kind of contributions they have made in our lives," said Kher in the video.
