After learning about the unfortunate news, the official X handle of Cine & TV Artistes’ Association (CINTAA) paid heartfelt condolences. A post read, “CINTAA expresses its condolences on the demise of Birbal (Member since 1981).” Khosla is best known for his comic characters. His distinctive look, featuring a bald pate and a thick moustache, made him easily recognisable. He worked in several films of Manoj Kumar including Upkar, Roti Kapda Aur Makaan and Kranti. However, it was his role as a prisoner in Sholay that made him garner a lot of attention. He was also featured in films like Naseeb, Yaarana, Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke and Anjaam among others.
