SUFFERS BRAIN STROKE

MUMBAI: Actor Tiku Talsania suffered a massive heart attack on Friday, January 10, sources have confirmed. We have learnt that the 70-year-old actor is currently admitted to Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Mumbai. However, more details about his health update are awaited.

Tiku Talsania is a prominent name in the entertainment world. He is known for his rib-tickling performances in comedy classics like Andaz Apna Apna, Ishq, Jodi No. 1 and Partner among others. He has even shared the screen with big names, including Shah Rukh Khan in Devdas.

Tiku was also known in the television industry. He worked in multiple popular shows like Sajan Re Phir Jhoot Mat Bolo, Yeh Chanda Kanoon Hai, Ek Se Badhkar Ek and Zamana Badal Gaya Hai.

He was last seen in the 2023 Gujarati series, What The Fafda. Streaming on ShemarooMe, it also stars Pratik Gandhi, Sanjay Goradia, Shraddha Dangar, Niilam Panchal, Ishani Dave, Parth Parmar, Dhruvin Kumar, Viraj Ghelani, and other incredible actors.

In the same year, Talsania ruled headlines after he labelled himself as “slightly Jobless” in an interview. “Gone are the times where there used to be formula films with cabaret dance, two love songs, and the comedian coming and doing his bit and going away. That all has changed now. It is become story-oriented. So unless and until you become a part of the story or you get to play a character of a person whose story is knitted with the story, you don’t get work. I am slightly jobless right now. I want to work, but the right kinds of roles are not coming my way,” he told.
