He was my support system and a great source of strength in my initial days in Mumbai. We shared many things in common. He was also one of the most fearless people I had ever come across. Always larger than life. I learned so many things from him. Of late, we didn’t meet much, but there was a time when we were inseparable! I will never forget when he surprised me by putting me on the cover of Filmfare and, more importantly, #TheIllustratedWeekly. He was the true definition of yaaron ka yaar! I will miss you and our times together, my friend. Rest well. #HeartBroken,” read the actor’s post.

Actor Sayani Gupta, who worked with Nandy in ‘Four More Shots Please!’, penned a lengthy note on Instagram in fond memory of the late director.
“The youngest guy in the room, the most articulate and brilliant. Always smiling, always warm and with that glint in his eyes. He loved a good conversation. He loved Bong women. And I knew he loved me. He would always express his love & never shied away from appreciating the people around him. There are very few people who are this magnetic,” she wrote.
Sayani added, “An absolute stalwart. A true visionary. A rock star feminist who has created some of the most iconic women characters for cinema. I thought of him a lot when his very close friend Mr. Ratan Tata passed away recently. How he must be holding up. Cannot believe he left us so soon.
The head of our family just left us. Hasn’t sunk in. I am grateful for his grace, wisdom & the moments spent under his light. A deep deep loss. Love to his and our family.”

Remembering Nandy, veteran actor Anil Kapoor on Instagram wrote,
“Shocked and heartbroken by the loss of my dear friend Pritish Nandy. A fearless editor, a brave soul, and a man of his word, he embodied integrity like no other. I still remember a bold Illustrated Weekly cover shoot he planned-when I felt uncomfortable, he scrapped it immediately, saying, ‘If you’re not happy, I won’t publish it’ That gesture marked the beginning of a lifelong friendship built on trust and respect. My heart goes out to his family. I’ll always miss his presence, his voice, and the fearless spirit he brought to everything he did.”
Actor Sanjay Dutt described Nandy as a “true creative genius”. “A true creative genius and a kind soul . You will be missed sir,” he posted on Instagram.
