Asif Basra, who starred in web series Paatal Lok and film Kai Po Che, has died at 53. He was found dead in a private complex in Dharamshala. Asif was last seen in the second season of Disney+ Hotstar series Hostages. He also starred as a senior executive in a media house in Amazon Prime’s Paatal Lok, which released earlier this year. Asif has also been seen in films such as Jab We Met, Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai, Krrish 3, Ek Villain and many others.
After the news of the veteran actor went viral a number of celebs took to social media and offered their condolences. Reports say that actor Asif Basra had been living in a rented house in McLeodganj for the last 5 years. Filmmaker Hansal Mehta was among the first from the industry to react to the death. “Can’t be true... This is just very, very sad,” he wrote.
Asif Basra! Can't be true... This is just very, very sad.

Used to meet him so often at the park jogging. He would tell me not to jog sideways,I might loose balance and hurt myself.
