Melody queen Lata Mangeshkar also took to Twitter to pay a tribute to the grand dame of Bollywood, who last evening in a hospital in the capital following a cardiac arrest.

"Zohra Sehgal ji ek behtreen theatre artist aur film actress thi. unko meri bhavpurna shraddhanjali (Zohra Sehgal was a great theatre and film artiste. My heartfelt tribute to her.)," Mangeshkar, 84, tweeted.

Shah Rukh, who worked with Sehgal in films like 'Dil Se', 'Kal Ho Naa Ho' and 'Veer-Zaara', said he will miss Sehgal.

Actress-turned-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt, who worked with Zohra in '1997 film 'Tamanna', shared an anecdote about how the legendary actress wanted champagne instead of tea or coffee on sets of the film.

"A long life is not what I seek. A full life? Yes indeed. Dear God-May I have the gall & desire for champagne & life a la. Had the privilege of working with her on my first film as a producer- 'Tamanna'. 'Champagne' she exclaimed when offered tea or coffee," Bhatt posted.

Actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha said, "Very sad to hear about Zohra Sehgal's demise. 102 years of greatness. RIP Zohra Sehgal."

"We love our brave boy and want all the other superheroes to know about this latest hero who joined their ranks," she added.

Moved by the young boy's story, Evans made a direct video message appreciating the boy for what he did, and how he is no less than a superhero.

He also promised to send the young kid an authentic 'Captain America' shield as a reward for his selfless, heroic act.

Evans' video message to the young boy was shared by the aunt on her Instagram profile.
In the video, Evans is saying, "Pal, you're a hero, what you did was so brave, so selfless -- your sister is so lucky to have you as a big brother.

Your parents must be so proud of you," Evans said in a video message that the family shared Wednesday. "Keep being the man you are, we need people like you. Hang in there, I know recovery might be tough, but based on what I've seen, I don't think there's much that can slow you down."

Towards the end, the 39-year-old actor told the boy he was sending the 'Captain America' shield to him, as the world needs more bravehearts like the little boy.
