Veteran Actor Raj Kiran is alive

Rumors around B-town and elsewhere were that veteran actor Raj Kiran, known for his roles in movies such as Arth and Bulundi, has passed away. Reason for such widespread belief was the man's mysterious absence for the longest

time. But all rumors can now be laid to rest because the actor, in a shocking turn of events, has been found at a mental asylum in the US.

It had been the rumors about this absconding actor that had initially led his friends and colleagues to begin their search for him. Raj's Hip Hip Hurray co-star, Deepti Naval, also left a message on his Facebook Fan page in her concern about the same matter.

However, the man to actually find him was none other than his Karz co-star Rishi Kapoor who recently traveled to the United States for the purpose. He was successful in tracing Raj's location and was equally shocked to find both, that Raj was living in a mental asylum, and that he worked there to pay for his own treatment.

Apparently, the story behind the veteran actor's unfortunate circumstances is a rather dramatic one. After his wife and son had abandoned him quite a while back, Raj took the beating to heart and deteriorated in his medical condition, while being left alone to fend for himself. Even the remainder of his own family did not take interest in mending any matters. Eventually, it all led to his deeply succumbing to depression after which he admitted himself in a mental institution in Mumbai. Much later his brothers took him to the mental asylum in the US, while news of his whereabouts was kept strictly hush.

Despite the harsh fate met out to him in this past time, we believe Raj Kiran still has his many blessings, in the form of people other than his family who care for him deeply enough. Here's wishing the man best wishes to recover from the trauma soon.

Actor Raj Kiran, who has been missing since many years, has finally been traced to a mental institution in the US. Offers of help have already begun to come from Bollywood.

The film fraternity is doubtlessly shocked after learning that Raj Kiran, who has worked in about a 100 films and was presumed dead after having gone missing, is languishing in an asylum in Atlanta.

Shahrukh Khan says he's sure the entire film industry is there to help Raj Kiran.

"I don't know the details...but of course we will come together as an industry to help his family and him. These are tough times, and it's not just about economical or monetary help. It actually means to stand by a great talent, and he is still an amazing talent, I'm sure," Shahrukh Khan told reporters in New Delhi at an event to launch the theatrical trailer of his film Ra.One.

Shahrukh added that he will figure out how to help Raj Kiran once he is back in Mumbai.

"I was really stunned when I heard this. As soon as I reach back Mumbai, I will find out what I can do," Shahrukh added.

Meanwhile, offers of help have already started pouring from Bollywood. Deepti Naval and Rishi Kapoor, who have been instrumental in finding Raj Kiran, have already said they are willing to get Raj Kiran back to Bollywood and help him build a career again.

South Indian actor Siddharth wrote on his Twitter page: "Sad to hear about Hindi film actor Raj Kiran. He was found in an asylum in Atlanta. I remember always being told that he was dead. Sad."

Director Ken Ghosh tweeted: "What happened to Raj Kiran reminds me that for every success story in the film industry, there are a million sad stories."
