Famous writer Sujatha once described the Soap Opera industry as ‘Dream Factory’ – everyone thinks that it is the easiest way to fame and money .. .. and in between we hear sad stories too. Today’s news of the passing away of this good comedian at a young age of 46 makes a sad reading.
Remember Singam 3 – it was a good Police officer who combined some comedy with good acting and made us cry when one hears the sad part of his daughter having lost her life in the botched work of villain – Police Officer Subba Rao. Robo Shankar became a big time comedy actor and well known personality – especially after his role in Danush’s Maari.
Read that he had been
hospitalized following a sudden health setback. According
to reports, the actor fainted while shooting for a couple’s television show
alongside his wife, Priyanka. Crew members immediately rushed him to a nearby
private hospital, where doctors diagnosed dehydration and low blood pressure as
the cause. He was currently under medical observation and just now news has
come that he has passed away. Shankar
had previously battled jaundice a few years ago, an illness that kept him
bedridden for months. His remarkable recovery and return to the screen had been
celebrated by many, but could not succeed this time.
Robot Shankar was a good comedian, good actor – be it stand-up or dialogue delivery – he made everyone laugh their heart out. Sad he has died a very young age. He was a good mimicry artist too.
Remember seeing him in
Vijay TV comedy shows - Kalakka Povathu Yaaru? .. .. he reportedly earned the title after doing robot dances in village shows.
