Smita on our mind
Smita Patil's death at the tender age of 31 was such a tragedy that it sent fans and the entire Bollywood fraternity into a state of collective shock. But her memory endures to such an extent that there was a sentimental outpouring of good wishes on her 63rd birth anniversary on Wednesday.

Everyone from Madhuri Dixit to film historian Aseem Chhabra to Prateik, Patil's son, posted heartfelt messages, as did her fans from all walks of life. Such was the talent of the "actor with a thousand expressions" that they just don't make them like her anymore.
