YoungWillz 21,066 Posted January 1, 2019 27 minutes ago, alt obits guy said: Date of death is unclear for Kader Khan. Article says Tuesday morning but Wikipedia currently indicating it to be December 31st, 2018. Edit: Wikipedia now listing it as January 1st, 2019. Might have to be changed, the son has confirmed he died 6pm Canadian Time on 31 December: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/veteran-actor-writer-kader-khan-dies-at-81/articleshow/67332658.cms Pretty good source of the info, I'd say. Edit: If I calculate that correctly and he died in Toronto, that's still 11pm on 31 December GMT. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SC She was at a lit fest I was at like a week ago, and seemed perfectly healthy, talking about her cancer treatment and her book about having cancer. Also managed to not look tired after like an hour's worth of book signing on top of an hour of talking about cancer and her book, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doctors said she was "much better" and "out of danger", whilw her daughter simply said she wasn't well. Now you know who was right. Coincidentally Indian composer Khayyam was in a nearby hospital with lung infection, and his wife Jagjit Kaur, a noted singer, was hospitalized too (she is expected to be discharged by Monday). Though Khayyam was said to be "on the road to recovery" it seems it has now taken a turn for the worse; mind, he has been in a semicomatose state for weeks. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markb4 902 Posted August 16, 2019 Question to the group: Do you want to rename this group as "Bollywood" or "Bollywood Possibilities" so that we can talk about film producers, directors, lyricists, etc. as well? Or do you want this to just be limited to Bollywood actors and actresses? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainChorizo 1,985 Posted November 11, 2019 Definitely should be seriously considered going forward by deadpoolers. Lata is the Joan Fontaine of her sister rivalry with Asha Bhosle and will be the one to die first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
