The tributes continue

Dev Anand, who passed away at 88 early Sunday, continued to be the subject of reverential tweets from celebrities and non-celebs alike. Harsha Bhogle pointed out: 'Notice how the tributes always talk about the gentleman? I found that most endearing.' Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur added: 'Dev Anand nurtured talents like Guru Dutt, Raj Khosla and Vijay Anand. How many actors today can say that?' There was this comment, from Eccentricandhow: 'Steve Jobs. Jagjit Singh. Shammi Kapoor. Dev Anand. Bhupen Hazarika. God is the real Jewel Thief.' And from someone using the handle God Save India: 'Dear God, give us Dev Anand, Shammi Kapoor and Jagjit Singh back. We'll give you A Raja, Kalmadi and many more politicians in return.'

More celebrities on Twitter - actor Aamir Khan and his wife Kiran Rao, who were blessed with a baby boy reportedly born through IVF to a surrogate mother. This prompted Shivani Tripathi to tweet: 'Nice to see a high profile couple open and honest. Indians tend to hush-hush everything!'

An attempt at philosophy from actor Arjun Rampal: 'Every time you suppress some part of yourself or allow others to play you small, you are ignoring the manual your creator gave you and destroying your design.'
