Bollywood actor Shri Vallabh Vyas who played the memorable character of Ishwar Kaka in hit film, ‘Lagaan’ has been passes away on Sunday in Jaipur. The actor died at the age of 60.
In 2008, the actor suffered a brain stroke followed by a paralytic attack while shooting for a film in Gujarat. He fell in the toilet in the middle of the night and was found the next morning in a pool of blood. He was later operated on and was paralysed since then. As his family couldn’t afford his treatment, they relocated from Mumbai to Jaisalmer and later Jaipur for treatment.
It needs to be said that Bollywood came together to help him as Akshay Kumar, Aamir Khan, Irrfab and a few other Bollywood celebrities were taking care of his medical expenses.
