Lagaan Actor Shrivallabh Vyas Passes Away At 60

Actor Shrivallabh Vyas, who starred in films like Lagaan and Sankat City, passed away in Jaipur on Sunday morning. 

Reportedly, in 2008, the actor had suddenly collapsed in his hotel room and since then kept very unwell. He stopped working in films thereafter. 

Some of Shrivallabh’s popular films include the likes of Sarfarosh, Abhay, Aan: Men at Work, Shool, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose: The Forgotten Hero and Sankat City. He also did a few theatre plays among which Virasat (1985) gained him recognition.

Film and television actor Daya Shankar Pandey, who is a close family friend of Shrivallabh Vyas, confirmed the news to a section of media and said, “Vyas was a great actor and we will miss him immensely. He died on Sunday morning around 9.30 am and his last rites will take place in the evening today. He has two daughters and his wife struggled a lot while taking care of Vyas.”

May his soul rest in peace.
