Argentine Football legend Diego Maradona passed away at the age of 60 after suffering a cardiac arrest, on Wednesday night. Earlier this month Maradona left hospital having undergone surgery to remove a blood clot on his brain, with his lawyer Matias Morla saying it was a "miracle" that the clot "which could have taken his life, was detected."
With this sad loss, several Bollywood celebrities have paid tribute to the legend with heartfelt notes.
