Veteran actor AK Hangal passes away

The year 2012 has indeed been quite tragic for Bollywood because the industry has lost many a super talent this year. On early Sunday morning, another stalwart of Hindi cinema breathed his last. Yes we're indeed talking in regards to the great A.K. Hangal saab who left for his eternal abode after being critically ill for a while.

Hangal was admitted to the Asha Parekh Hospital in Santacruz on August 16, after he slipped and fell in his bathroom on August 14, fracturing his right thigh bone. Previous to this, the actor had also been affected by pulmonary tuberculosis, chronic kidney disease and hypertension.

Hangal has entertained us along with his memorable performances in films like Sholay, Saagar, Shaukeen, Aandhi, Kora Kagaz, Bawarchi, Avtaar, Arjun and lots of more. His previous few films included Aamir Khan's Lagaan and Shah Rukh Khan's Paheli. He even recently shot for a TV serial called 'Madhubala'.

Hangal's funeral held in Mumbai yesterday was attended by B-town celebs like Ila Arun, Raj Zutshi, Pawan Malhotra and Raza Murad. Sadly not one of the Bollywood biggies were present to pay their last respect to Hangal saab.

Bollywood Hungama offers its heartfelt condolence to Hangal saab's family members.
