Chandigarh, October 22
Veteran Punjabi actor Mehar Mittal passed away in a hospital in Mount Abu, Rajasthan, on Saturday after a prolonged illness. He died two days before he was to turn 81.
His family members rushed to Mount Abu for his last rites, to bid final adieu to the actor who entertained the audience in more than 300 films. The rumours of his death made rounds in social media two weeks back. So strong were the rumours that many from the Punjabi film industry posted ‘RIP’ messages on their Facebook pages.
Sanjeev Gupta, an advocate in the Punjab and Haryana High Court and Mehar Mittal’s grandson, confirmed the news of his demise. “He was in coma for 3-4 days. On Saturday afternoon he suffered a stroke which he couldn’t bear,” said Gupta, who can’t help but talk about the last time he met Mehar Mittal. They had met recently. “He looked happy and at peace,” Gupta said.
As Sanjeev painstakingly recollects the memories of going out with this brilliant actor, he tells us how his fans would surround the versatile actor wherever he went. “He was something like the characters he portrayed on celluloid.”
Born in a Bathinda village on October 24, 1935, Mehar Mittal worked as a comedian in over 300 Punjabi films. Punjabi actor Mehar Mittal passes away
