msc 18,480 Posted November 16, 2015 Saeed Jaffrey, Bollywood star with numerous British film and TV appearances has died at 86. http://www.ibtimes.co.in/gandhi-actor-saeed-jaffery-dies-86-654948 Edit: One DDP team had him and await a qualifier, which should be no problem. The gangsters will be in mourning. Though I believe Maurice Colbourne bumped off most of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,480 Posted December 5, 2016 Former Bollywood star and now Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, J Jayalalithaa may be worth keeping under observation. She has missed several public engagements recently and rumours abound that she may require a liver or a kidney transplant, although this is strenuously denied by her spokespeople. Has heart attack and is said to be in a critical condition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,540 Posted December 5, 2016 Jayalalithaa's the big news story of the moment in India, and don't threat if she dies before January 1st: her passing will set off a massive string of civil unrest and violence in the Tamil Nadu area, so you can always pick their local police chief as a back-up.
