Members of the film fraternity like Riteish Deshmukh, Madhur Bhandarkar and Kailash Kher took to micro-blogging site Twitter to mourn the death of Maharashtra’s former deputy chief minister Raosaheb Ramrao Patil.

“Deeply saddened to hear about Shri RR Patil. Heartfelt condolences to the Family, I understand and relate to their pain & loss. RIP Sir,” Riteish, son of late politician Vilasrao Deshmukh, tweeted.

Patil, who was home minister during the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, passed away Monday evening after a three-month battle with cancer. He was 57.

Riteish also called Patil a people’s leader and remembered him for his “humbleness”.

“Shri RR Patil- a grass root leader who rose to become the Dy CM of Maharashtra. Humble, soft spoken & a people’s Man. Rip Sir,” he wrote.
