Apoorv's Post

India has witnessed a wave of comedians rise to fame in recent years. But for decades, it was Asrani who brought smiles to millions of faces in the ‘70s and ‘80s. Whether it was his effortless humour, impeccable timing, and unforgettable characters, he had made a special place in the hearts of his fans. Especially as the hysterical role as the eccentric ‘Jailer’ in Sholay, or performances in Bawarchi, Chupke Chupke, Abhimaan, and more continue to bring smiles to the faces of fans. However, today the laughter icon has said farewell to the world, leaving behind a permanent void in Bollywood that can never be filled. Veteran actor, Govardhan Asrani passed away in Mumbai on Monday, October 20, 2025, at the age of 84. His nephew confirmed the news of his demise and revealed the icon’s last rites were performed at the Santacruz Crematorium. According to his personal assistant, Babubhai, Asrani was admitted to Bharatiya Arogya Nidhi Hospital in Juhu four days ago due to age-related health complications. After a few hours, his condition worsened, and he passed away. In his words to India Today: “From what the doctors told us, there was fluid accumulation in his lungs. He passed away today, October 20, around 3:30 p.m.” Asrani’s family decided to conduct the funeral quietly and honoured Asrani’s wish to “go in peace” without turning his passing into an event. His wife, Manju Asrani, and other family members are expected to release an official statement soon. #bollywood #govardhanasrani #sholay #demise #veteranactor
