For his contributions to film, the Government of India honoured him with the Padma Shri, while the French Government awarded him with both; the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and the Légion d’honneur.

Twitter is flooded with heartfelt messages, memes and posts sharing the actor’s journey along with the fans expressing their love in myriad ways.
