Thank You Oscars for paying tribute to India's beloveds, late Sridevi and Shashi Kapoor

Thank You Academy Awards for paying respect to two of the legendary Indian actors that we lost in the recent past – Shashi Kapoor and Sridevi.While you never cease to surprise us with your awards show, year after year. This heartwarming gesture by you is further making all of us proud here in India to see the impact that Bollywood celebs have across the globe. Probably, Twitter is the best place to see the overwhelming reactions with fans and celebs tweeting alike with all their gratitude and love.

So amazing to see the #oscars pay respect to #shashikapoor  and #sridevi #Oscar90” , tweeted Varun Dhawan whereas Vidya Balan wrote, “The Oscars paid tribute to our beloved Sridevi…#YourLegacyLivesOn.

For all the uninitiated, we lost Sridevi just a couple of days back to accidental drowning; while late Shashi Kapoor left us after battling a chest infection :last year. Both these actors have given us some of the best films and songs that will be remembered for generations to come. For them to be honored at the Oscars is also quite big a deal and a matter of pride. We can totally relate to what celebs and fans must be feeling right now because we too are one of them. Indeed, the legacy lives on.
