Actor Narendra Jha dies at the age of 55

Popular Hindi film and television actor Narendra Jha left for his heavenly abode due to a massive heart attack on Wednesday morning. The actor was at his farmhouse in Wada where he breathed his last. He was 55.

"He had no health issues. He was fine. He ate properly and spoke to us... Things were fine. Around 4 a.m. today, he felt chest pain so we took him to a nearby hospital, but everything was over by then," the driver of the late actor informed.


Born in Bihar, Jha entered showbiz with popular Hindi show Shanti and then went on to make his Bollywood debut with Imtiaz Punjabi's comic-caper Funtoosh. Later he acted in hit films like Ghayal Once Again, Mohenjo Daro, Kaabil and Raees, to name just a few.

Narendra was also signed for the forthcoming action entertainer Race 3, featuring Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez in lead roles. He was also a part of Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor's Saaho.

His last rites were performed today at Wada in Maharashtra.
