Salman Khan’s body double Sagar Pandey passes away due to a sudden heart attack

The body doubles form an important part of a film’s unit. Most actors have taken their services to shoot not just faraway shots but also certain stunts and action scenes. In many cases, they also look like them and are a big draw at events and stage shows. Sagar Pandey was one such person. He was the body double of bodyguard Salman Khan and today, September 30, he suddenly passed away.

Prashant Walde, the famous body double of Shah Rukh Khan, confirmed this news to Bollywood Hungama. He said, “Sagar was working in the gym when he suddenly collapsed. He was immediately taken to Hindu Hruday Samrat Balasaheb Thackerey Trauma Care Municipal Hospital at Jogeshwari East, Mumbai. That’s where he was declared dead.”

Prashant Walde further said, “I am quite shocked. He was perfectly fit and healthy. He was too young to pass away. His age must have been around 45-50 years.”

In an interview in April 2020 to a news channel, Sagar Pandey revealed his plight especially after the country went into a lockdown. He sighed that his work has dried up as film shoots and events had stopped. He revealed that more than the film shoots, he used to earn from stage shows.

In the same video interview, Sagar Pandey also revealed that he was an eligible bachelor, just like Salman Khan. He has five brothers and since he earned the most, he took care of their expenses. He also said that he was originally from Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh and that he had come to Mumbai to become an actor. He decided to become a body double when he failed to get work as an actor.

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) was the first film in which he played Salman Khan’s body double. He later worked in several films like Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015), Tubelight (2017), Dabangg (2010), Dabangg 2 (2012), Dabangg 3 (2019), etc. In all, Sagar Pandey said that he worked in more than 50 films as the superstar’s duplicate.

We at Bollywood Hungama extend our heartfelt condolences to Sagar Pandey’s family.

Alia Bhatt says the F word at JIO MAMI Movie Mela while talking about Kareena Kapoor Khan We earlier told you how beauties Alia Bhatt and Kareena Kapoor Khan recently dropped in at the JIO MAMI Movie Mela 2019 and had a fun conversation with Karan Johar who turned moderator for one of the sessions. Apart from all the interesting revelations that they made, here's a hilarious gaffe from Alia's end that we are going to remember for a while. It so happened that the Bhatt girl was all praises for Kareena. She went on to heap praises on the Veere Di Wedding actor, but it came to an abrupt end after Alia realised she had just blurted out the 'F' word!  “She (Kareena) has genuinely been an inspiration to me. Earlier there was this thing that if an actress gets married, her career slows down a bit but she totally broke that for all of us,” Alia said. This was followed by how amazing Kareena's airport wardrobe really was. “Rocking that track pant with a pout, it’s just f

However, she seems to have immersed self-love instead, since we keep coming across her amazing travel pictures. Much excited about ringing in the 33rd spring, she shared a photo of herself in a bikini soaking in the sun, a day prior to her birthd
