Gone too soon: These throwback pictures of Tom Alter with his son will make your eyes moist

Tom Alter was not just any English-speaking firang man in Bollywood. He was an eminent poet whose verses were fluid in Urdu, a great man, and an artiste who could not just be limited to Bollywood, or any industry, for that matter. So, when he breathed his last and we got the news yesterday, the lovers of cinema were in a pain which could not be fathomed.

But, who can understand the pain of a son who lost not just his father, but a great visionary as well? Jamie Alter, Tom Alter’s son, took to Twitter to post some heartwarming childhood pictures of himself and his father, and they will bring a teary smile to your face.

The blue-eyed sahab of Bollywood, Tom Alter was a through and through Indian at heart, as he continuously used to mention in his interviews.

The man who gave us many memorable performances throughout his filmography and even on television, was last seen in Hindi film ‘Sargoshiyan’ and TV series ‘Rishton Ka Chakravyuh’.

Rest in peace, Tom sir. May you spread a cheer with your words and positivity, in the alternate world that you now belong to.
