If the COVID-19 pandemic was not enough, deaths of Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor on back-to-back days made netizens went out at the year itself. Even celebrities expressed their anger on Twitter.
Ankit Tiwari termed it as a ‘black year.’ Hansal Mehta was no holds barred in using the F-word for the year. Richa Chadha asked if the year was going to get even worse, 'watching from enforced distance' and mourning the deaths of the stalwarts without company.

Rishi Kapoor & Irrfan Khan, two very diverse acting styles, but both iconic performers. I don't know if they did any other films together, but I remember one. Ironically it was called #DDay 💔. pic.twitter.com/KDuNwU9UvJ
