Veteran film, television, and stage actor Vikram Gokhale has been admitted to the ICU of a hospital in Pune after his health deteriorated. The 82-year-old actor’s condition is said to be “critical” and is on a ventilator. Late on Wednesday night, social media was abuzz with speculation about the actor’s health, but his family or the doctors treating him had not issued any official statement.
Gokhale is undergoing treatment at Pune’s Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital for the past few days.
For the unversed, Gokhale is the son of Marathi theatre and film actor Chandrakant Gokhale. He has starred in several Hindi and Marathi industries. The actor made his acting debut at 26 with the 1971 Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Parwana. Besides starring in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, he was also seen in films like Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Dil Se, De Dana Dan, and Mission Mangal. In Marathi, he was seen in Natsamrat, and Dusari Goshta and also directed a film named Aaghaat.
He also appeared in a few television shows such as Singhasan, Jeevan Saathi, Virrudh, and Sanjivani. He did not shy away from digital medium as well. The actor was seen in the 2020 OTT release Avrodh: The Siege Within. The actor was honoured with the National Award for Best Actor in 2010. He won the award for the Marathi film Anumati. He was seen earlier this year in Nikamma. The film starred Abhimanyu Dassani and Shilpa Shetty in the lead, and it was released in June. The film did not perform well — critically and box office-wise.
His latest Marathi film ‘Godavari’ is currently running in theatres.
According to Times Now, the actor has worked in over 90 films and plays but he retired from the stage in 2016 after he was diagnosed with a throat ailment.
