Jaspal Bhatti, arguably India's first TV comedian, died in a road accident on Thursday morning near Jalandhar, according to media reports.
Bhatti, 57, became a household name with his shows - 'Ulta Pulta' and 'Flop Show' - on Doordarshan. The Amrtisar-born multi-talented comedian is survived by his actor wife Savita Bhatti and two children.
His latest film, "Power Cut", is due for release on October 26.
Bhatti was also known for his rallies, which highlighted major issues of the day like inflation and corruption in his own characteristic tongue-in-cheek humour.
