Gutted to learn of #RanjitChowdhry’s passing. Despite his diminutive frame, he was a towering icon of Indian diaspora cinema and a master of his craft. By far, one of the most endearingly quirky and acerbically witty people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. A true original!

This is how @aroonshiv told us the “joke.” When she first met #RanjitChowdhry she wasn’t keen to shake hands with him. She remembered his character from @IamDeepaMehta’s #Fire. You guys have to see Fire to get what I’m talking about 😂cc: @PoornaJags @DilipMehtaEsq

Sad to hear. Worked with him in my first film, Fire. Funny and friendly, as I remember him. Ranjit Chowdhry (1955-2020): ‘Khoobsurat’ and ‘The Office’ actor dies at 65 https://t.co/ccV20z4PQR via @TheReel_in

In loving memory of #ranjitchowdhry #writer #actor #mavrick #RIP. I remember my first scene with him. He finished his take in one shot & came my turn. This was first day of our shoot. I just paused, I had seen him… https://t.co/DJkmpqn9u7

As a fan of his work in Lonely in America & Mississippi Masala, I was grateful when Ranjit Chowdhry decided to do a small part in my 1st movie Too Tired to Die. Even though it was only for 2 days, I thoroughly enjoyed working w him. Rest In Peace. https://t.co/Hvw4a12JxF

He perfected the nonchalant urban youngster of the 1970s, tad irreverent and quite witty. His conversations with Pearl Padamsee in Baton Baton mein and Dina Pathak in Khoobsurat steered ear of stereotypes of mother-son relationships #RanjitChowdhry https://t.co/rLAjQc5rfh

Each role, pretty much, was memorable. #KhattaMeetha #Khubsoorat, #BaatonBaatonMein #SamAndMe #Fire #Kaante. And that delivery, it was unique. If you heard him, you knew it was /#RanjitChowdhry. Rest well, actor, good human.

I loved him most as the haphazardly self-deprecating misdiagnosing doctor in #TheLastHoliday. He played straight-laced ironic comedic characters in many roles & was a pleasure to watch #RanjitChowdhry #Bollywood #RIP

With so many great Indian actors passing away earlier this year, we also lost Mr Ranjit Chowdhry, who played some great roles in across global film/TV industry like those of Bandit Queen, Kaalia, Such a long Journey and as Vikram in the hit show, @TheOffice! @SteveCarell #RIP pic.twitter.com/iPsBk2auXD

This guy made magic out of nothing, filling paper thin roles with so much depth. I always saw my father when I was with him- the same humor, stubbornness and brilliance. Heartbroken, dear friend. RIP
