One of Hi-Fi's (Hindi Film Industry's) most popular villains, actor Goga Kapoor, passed away on Thursday morning. He was 70.
Actor Gajendra Chauhan said, "He was ailing for nearly six months. It was a natural death. He is survived by his wife and three daughters. His youngest daughter, Payal, is an actor. He was one of the most active committee members of Cine Artistes' Association."

That Ram Gopal Varma and Amitabh Bachchan are close pals is a known fact, but Big B seems to be taking this friendship a bit too seriously, or let’s say, too blindly. Recently, he went on to admit that he had signed Ramu’s next film Buddha without even reading the script of the film! He’s walking blindly into the film, which requires him to color his hair red and don a youthful, cool look! After the last film they did together, we think it’s a scary thought, think about it, Big B. Apparently, in this film AB will be seen in his old avtar, as the angry ‘young’ man after years. So Ramu, better get your act together this time, if even a bit of AB’s screen image rubs off on real life, God help you!Source:TOI
