Veteran actor Pradeep Rawat, best known for playing Ashwatthama in BR Chopra's iconic television series Mahabharat and memorable roles in Ghajini and Lagaan, has died at the age of 74 after a battle with cancer. His manager, Siddharth Tiwari, confirmed the news, saying the actor passed away on Tuesday evening after suffering a cancer relapse.
According to Tiwari, Rawat had successfully recovered from cancer around four years ago. However, the disease returned about one-and-a-half months ago, leading to his hospitalization. He said the actor's platelet count suddenly dropped, and despite medical treatment, he could not recover.
