Veteran actor Vikram Gokhale, who was undergoing treatment at the Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital in Pune, passed away today. He was 77 and is survived by his wife and two daughters. He was undergoing treatment and had suffered multiple organ failures. Aniruddh Dave, who shared screen space with him in the TV show, Mera Naam Karegi Roshan, shares his experience working with him.
He says, “He played my father on the show. I think he is one of the most talented and gifted actors in the industry. Whether in Marathi cinema, theatre, or Hindi movies, he has done some phenomenal work. For actors like us, he was an acting institute in himself. His nuanced and effortless acting and the ease with which he would slip into a character were brilliant. He was an actor par excellence.”
