Veteran actor Vikram Gokhale, 82, of film, television, and stage fame, has died after a protracted illness. The actor passed away at Pune’s Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital after being in a severe state for a few days.
The actor had been receiving treatment for a few days before his condition worsened. Actor Ajay Devgn remarked in remembrance of his passing, “Sir gave the roles he played a lot of gravitas. He was usually erect. I was fortunate enough to watch movies with him. It’s terribly terrible that he passed away. He may have eternal peace, I pray. Vikram Sir, RIP. My sympathies go out to his family”.
