"Very sorry to hear that the great MF Husain is not, RIP," the veteran actor Dev Anand said at the micro-blogging site Twitter.
"The news is shocking. It is yet to sink in just two days back I talked about it with a friend. He was a great director who made films that he believed in himself and financed. He was a person and a true artist," says director Anurag Kashyap PTI.
Foraying the film "Through the Eyes of Painter" in 1967, later to Hussain, "Gaja Gamini" with his then muse Madhuri Dixit, and then "Meenaxi: Tale of Three Cities" starring Tabu.
Actor Raghubir Yadav, who also starred in 'Meenaxi: Tale of Three Cities ", PTI said," It's sad that an artist such growth is no longer with us Working with him was a learning experience .. He was quiet by nature and open man. "
"Deeply saddened by the news of Hussain saab. He was not only a great artist, but an amazing man. His passion and love for life was contagious and unmatched. May his soul rest in peace," tweeted Kunal Kapoor, who made his acting debut with "Meenaxi: Tale of three cities. "
Expressing sadness, actor Shabana Azmi told PTI that Husain was a close friend and a great man."He was a prolific painter. He is somebody who is born once every 100 years. I recently met him through a video-conference. He was excited when we told him we will try to bring him back to India. He missed India."
In the face of legal challenges over the image of naked Hindu deities and death threats in India, 95-year-old Husain has been living abroad in self-imposed exile since 2006.
Lyricist Javed Akhtar Husain named as one of the greatest artists in the country and outside India. "I think many people realize the importance of artists in this country because of it. His contribution to Indian art was completely unprecedented."
