He was 98. Chandrashekhar breathed his last around 7 am at his residence here, his son and producer Ashok Shekhar told news agency.

“He passed away in his sleep in the presence of family… the way he wanted. He had no health issues, it was just his age. He lived a good life,” Shekhar said. The veteran actor’s last rites will be held at Juhu’s Pawan Hans crematorium in the evening, he added.
