Ravindra Mahajani found dead in his flat
Veteran Marathi actor Ravindra Mahajani, 77, had been discovered dead in his flat in Ambi village, Maval taluka, close to Talegaon Dabhade. This tragic news devastated the entertainment industry. The actor, who earned a reputation for living by himself, left behind a startling gap.
When worried neighbours smelled something fishy coming from Mahajani’s flat on Friday about 4:30 p.m., they immediately called the Talegaon MIDC police station. The police arrived and encountered a locked door. They regrettably decided to break in considering there were neighbours close by. Their worst suspicions became apparent when Mahajani’s lifeless body was found indoors. According to the authorities, the dead was recognised as Mahajani by the flat owner.
According to Senior Inspector Shivaji Gaware their team discovered the door and discovered Mahajani deceased inside the flat. The Talegaon Dabhade hospital received the body for an autopsy. According to reports, physicians believed Mahajani had died three days prior. Because he had been residing alone for eight months prior to his passing.
Mahajani earned the nickname “Vinod Khanna of the Marathi film industry” due to frequent comparisons made between him and the renowned actor Vinod Khanna. Director N. Chandra selected him for the 1986 film “Ankush” based on his striking resemblance.
Mahajani actively contributed to the world of music, composing and recording popular love ballads such as “Ha Sagar Kinara,” “Sumbaran Gao Deva,” and “Phite Andharache Jaale.” Audiences in rural areas resonated with his film “Devta,” and his performances in movies like “Duniya Kari Salam,” “Mumbai cha Fauzdar,” “Zoonj,” “Kalat Nakalat,” and “Aaram haram Ahe” solidified his reputation. Unlike “Laxmi Chi Pavale,” “Aaram haram Ahe” emerged as a box office hit. Continuing his father’s legacy, his son Gashmeer Mahajani pursues an acting career.
The talented Marathi actor and television sensation Gashmeer Mahajani actively participated in the reality dance competition “Jhalak Dikhla Ja,” earning recognition in the process. He also made notable appearances in popular TV series like “Imlie” and “Tere Ishq Mein Ghayal.” Currently, Gashmeer and his family are grappling with immense grief following the sudden demise of his father, Ravindra Mahajani.
