Superstar Aamir Khan’s longtime assistant Amos passed away, on Tuesday, after suffering a massive heart attack. He was 60-year-old.
Amos, who had been working with Aamir for the past 25 years, was taken to the Holy Family hospital where he breathed his last.
Aamir’s close friend and Lagaan co-star Karim Hajee said Amos collapsed in the morning and was rushed to the hospital by the actor, his director-wife Kiran Rao and their team.
“Amos worked with a superstar but was endearing and simple. He was like this to not just Aamir but everyone. He put everyone at ease and was a wonderful person. He had a wonderful heart, was so bright and a hard worker,” Karim told PTI.
“He had no major illness, his death is shocking. He died with his boots on. Both Aamir and Kiran are devasted. Aamir had sent us a message and said it is an irreplaceable loss. We were so numb, we will miss him,” he added.
Karim said Amos had recently turned grandfather and his death is a huge loss to everyone who knew him.
Amos is survived by his wife and two children.
