Actor Arun Bali, known for his iconic roles in the hit movies 3 idiots and Swabhiman passing away on early on Friday, has left a big void in the film arena. His son Ankush revealed that he had Myasthenia Gravis, an autoimmune condition brought on by a breakdown in nerve-muscle communication.
Bali portrayed King Porus in the 1991 historical drama Chanakya, Kunwar Singh in the Doordarshan soap opera Swabhimaan, and Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, the Chief Minister of undivided Bengal, in the contentious and critically praised 2000 movie Hey Ram.
Arun Bali rose to fame for playing “kindly old” characters like Harshvardhan Wadhwa in Kumkum, and in the 2000s, he even won accolades for them. He is also a producer who has won a National Award.
Laal Singh Chaddha’s Bollywood rendition of Forrest Gump, which debuted on August 11, 2022, featured Arun Bali as the elderly guy in the train.
