Well known character artiste of Hindi and Marathi films and renowned Marathi stage artist Janardan Parab, is no more. He passed away today morning. He is survived by his film maker son Sarvesh Parab, daughter in law and grand children. He was active with his acting assignments for the past forty years and was last seen during the music release function of Kiran Nakti’s film ‘Cindrella‘, where he even gave speech, appealing all to watch this film in theatres.

Some of his best Marathi plays were ‘Avadhya‘, ‘Hamidabaichi Kothi‘ & ‘Kaka Kishacha‘. He had also worked very hard to promote Malvani language dramas. Besides performing in various Marathi and Hindi films, he had also directed a Marathi film ‘Kulaswamini Tuljabhavani‘. His one scene with Nana Patekar in Hindi film ‘Krantiveer‘ is still fresh in our memory. May his soul rest in peace.
