Bollywood personalities such as Rishi Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, and Vidya Balan thanked the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for paying tribute to Indian veterans, Shashi Kapoor and Sridevi in the Memoriam segment of the Oscars. The In Memoriam segment of the Oscars pay tribute to the artists who have passed this year.

Shashi Kapoor was not just a superstar in Bollywood, but also an active figure in International Cinema as he worked in films such as The Householder, Shakespeare Wallah, The Guru, Bombay Talkie and In Custody. The actor moved on his journey towards peace on December 4, 2017.
