Bollywood Star Baswani Dies

Bollywood actor RAVI BASWANI has died after suffering a heart attack at the age of 64.

Baswani passed away on Tuesday (27Jul10) in Shimla, India.

A comedian and character, he began his career in theatre before he turned to the big screen, landing roles in several Bollywood films including Chashme buddoor and blockbuster Bunty aur Babli.

But it was his part in Jaane bhi do yaaro that sealed Baswani's place in Bollywood, earning him wide recognition and the Filmfare Best Comedian Award in 1984.

He was most recently seen in films including Anthony Kaun Hai?, Yun Hota Toh Kya Hota: What If...? and Monsoon.
