BBC News - Indian comedian Jaspal Bhatti dies in car crash

One of India's most popular comedians Jaspal Bhatti has died in a road crash in Jalandhar city in Punjab state.

Mr Bhatti, 57, was travelling from Moga to Jalandhar to promote his new film Power Cut when his car hit a truck early on Thursday, reports said.

The comedian was hugely popular in the 1980s and 1990s when he did hit television shows like the Flop Show and Ulta Pulta (Upside Down).

He had also acted in several Hindi and Punjabi films.

Bhatti's son Jasraj, who was driving the car, and the film's heroine, Suril Gautam, were also injured in the accident, Press Trust of India reported.

They have been taken to a hospital in Jalandhar, it said.

Mr Bhatti will be cremated later on Thursday, reports said.

The comedian used humour and satire to highlight serious issues like corruption, inflation and female foeticide.

He also did street theatre and addressed what he called "mock press conferences" where he mocked the authorities for their failures.
 
I remember the days when cable TV was in it's nascent stage.

There were few shows on Doordarshan which everyone watched, his "flopshow" was one of them, the name was a real irony The show was "flopshow" but that was the best & hit show of that time.

I grew up watching him on TV.

At a time when it is very difficult to make people laugh, he was one of those gem who find solace in making others laugh.

RIP to this great legend.
