Shyama, a veteran actress who acted in films like Aar Paar (1954), Barsaat Ki Raat (1960) and Tarana, passed away this morning. The cause of her death is yet to be known.
Speaking to a leading tabloid, actor Johnny Walker’s son Nasir Khan said, “It’s really disheartening to know about the demise of Shyama aunty. She had done several films with my father and in a lot of them she was opposite him also. In fact, in the film that was made on his name ‘Johnny Walker’, she was the heroine with him. My heartfelt condolences to the family and may Allah give her the strength through this trying time.”
