Bobby singh the special 26 lensman dies of crab al

The young cinematographer's
sudden demise comes as a shock
to his industry friends
Friends and colleagues mourned
the loss of Bobby Singh, the 39-
year-old cinematographer who
passed away suddenly in Goa on
Tuesday. The lensman, who had
last worked on the Akshay
Kumar and Manoj Bajpayee
starrer Special Chabbis, suffered
an asthma attack due to an
allergic reaction caused by eating
crabs. Singh was holidaying with
his family in Goa after wrapping
up with the movie shoot when
this unfortunate incident took
place.
The film industry mourned his
loss, as filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt
who had worked with Bobby on
several films including Gangster,
Woh Lamhe and Jannat 2 said,
"The news of Bobby's sudden
death has shattered us. He was a
match winner. His contribution
to our films made a world of
difference."
Singh, who started his career as
an assistant in Raj Sippy's film
Shehzade, went on to work with
several established filmmakers
including Anurag Basu on Kites
and Life in a Metro. Basu, who
considered Bobby as a dear
friend said, "It has come as a
rude shock to me. I have very
few friends in the film industry
and Bobby was one of them. He
was an asthma patient and I
guess the allergy aggravated. He
worked with me on Life in A
Metro and Kites. He was full of life
and made everyone happy. More
than our friendship, his family
and my family bonded well."
Other films that Singh worked on
included hits like The Dirty
Picture, No Problem, Kuch Luv
Jaisa and Sarfarosh in which he
was an assistant.
