Veteran Bollywood actor Chandrashekhar passed away  at the age of 97. He was ailing for some time and passed away at his residence on Wednesday morning.

His son, professor Ashok Chandra Shekhar, said that the funeral will take place at Mumbai’s Vile Parle crematorium later in the day. “He was in the hospital for a day, last Thursday. We brought him back home and had kept all facilities including oxygen at our disposal if the need would arise. He was okay last night. The end was peaceful,” Ashok said.

Chandrashekhar has done over 250 films and multiple TV shows in his long career. He began his journey as a junior artist and went on to star in leading roles in films like Aurat Teri Yehi Kahani (1954). His first film as hero was Surang (1953), produced by V. Shantaram. He went on to do films like Kavi and Mastana (both 1954), Baradari (1955), Kali Topi Lal Rumal (1959), Street Singer, and in a negative role in Basant Bahar.

He also served as the president of the Cine Artistes Association (CINTAA) from 1985 to 1996. Paying tribute to the actor and confirming the news, Cine & TV Artistes’ Association (CINTAA) tweeted, “#CINTAA expresses its deepest condolence on the demise of Shri #Chandrashekhar ji.”

He also appeared in popular films like Gateway of India, Fashion (1957), Barsaat Ki Raat (1960), Baat Ek Raat Ki, Angulimaal (1960), Rustom-E-Baghdad (1963), King Kong (1962), and Jahan Ara (1964).
