Senior
actor
Vishwa
Mohan
Badola,
who
was
seen
in
films
like
Munnabhai
MBBS,
Jodha
Akbar,
Prem
Ratan
Dhan
Payo,
Jolly
LLB
2
and
TV
show
Nisha
Aur
Uske
Cousins,
passed
away
on
Monday
(November
23)
due
to
age-related
issues.
He
was
84.
His
son,
Varun
Badola,
who
was
recently
seen
in
Mere
Dad
Ki
Dulhan,
shared
an
emotional
post
on
his
father's
demise.
He
called
his
father
a
legend
and
said
that
his
legacy
will
stay
on
forever.
The
actor
shared
his
father's
picture
on
his
Instagram
account
and
wrote,
"A
lot
of
people
crib
about
the
fact
that
their
kids
do
not
listen
to
them.
Many
forget
that
kids
are
always
watching
them.
My
father
never
sat
me
down
to
teach
me
anything.
He
made
learning
a
way
of
life
for
me.
He
set
an
example
so
exemplary
that
I
had
no
choice
but...
follow.
If
you
think
that
I
am
a
good
actor,
blame
him.
If
I
write,
he
has
to
take
the
onus.
If
I
sing...
well
if
I
had
just
about
1/10th
of
his
singing
talent,
I
would
have
become
a
singer.
I
left
Delhi
and
came
to
Mumbai
because
his
name
was
too
big
in
that
city
to
counter.
I
protested
that
people
judge
me,
they
unduly
favour
me
because
I
am
your
son.
He
promptly
told
me
to
go
and
find
my
own
identity
some
place
else
if
I
thought
his
name
was
a
hinderance.
He
told
me
to
always
operate
out
of
my
comfort
zone."
He
further
added,
"He
made
me
a
MAN.
Not
many
know
that
he
was
a
journalist
by
profession.
A
master
on
South
East
Asian
affairs.
Travelled
the
world
twice
over.
He
did
more
than
400
hundred
plays
for
AIR.
He
was
an
actor
par
excellence.
When
he
sang,
time
stopped.
Make
no
mistake,
THIS
MAN
WAS
A
LEGEND.
But
for
me,
he
was
my
father.
A
father
who
was
always
watching
and
always
listening.
So
ladies
and
gentlemen
The
Man,
The
Legend,
The
Phenomenon
has
called
it
a
day.
But
his
legacy
will
stay
on
forever
in
various
forms.
Mr.
Vishwa
Mohan
Badola
1936
-
2020."
