Jaane bhi do Yaaron famed actor Ravi Baswani dead




Talented actor Ravi Baswani, who won acclaim for his comic roles in films like Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron and Chashme Baddoor, passed away today following a massive heart attack in Simla. He was 64.

Baswani began his Bollywood innings with the immensely popular comedy Chashme Baddoor in 1981. He starred in Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron which showcased his comic genius.

Film maker Sai Paranjpe, who launched him in Chashme Baddoor, said that Ravi had the `perfect comic timing'.

"I am shocked... he was immensely talented and multifaceted personality. His comic timing was perfect.. he was a bit introvert," Paranjpe said in Mumbai.

"Ravi did not get justice even though his talent was immense," she said.

Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar tweeted: "Sad to hear the demise of actor Ravi Baswani. The unforgettable performance in (Jaane bhi do yaaron, Chasme Baddoor), may his soul RIP."

"Just got to know that Ravi Baswani passed away. How sad and terrible. Wonderful man. A gypsy by heart. Always happy and helpful. RIP," actor Anupam Kher said.

A true but not much appreciated talent.
He was good comedian. He was very good in Ab Aayega Mazaa too.

May his soul rest in peace.


Did his acting skills improve? One I saw him in was a very popular comedy, long time ago. Dipti Naval was in it. Amitabh Bachhan and Rekha had a cameo appearance. Wooden acting is what I recall. He was one with expressionless face. I could be wrong.
