Mahabharat’s Bheem, actor Praveen Kumar Sobti passes away aged 74

Actor Praveen Kumar Sobti, popular for his role as Bhim in BR Chopra’s mythical drama Mahabharata, has died at the age of 74. Praveen is known for her huge stature and has played the role of follower, thug and bodyguard in many Bollywood films. The 6ft 6in actor and athlete is from Punjab.

Before entering the acting industry, Pravin was a hammer and discus athlete. He is a four-time Asian Games medallist (2 Gold, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze) and also represented India at two Olympic Games (Mexico 1968 and Munich 1972). He is also an Arjuna Award recipient. It was because of the sport that Praveen was awarded the position of Deputy Commander of the Border Security Force (BSF).

After success in track and field, Praveen switched to show business in the late ’70s. In an interview with the Times of India, Pravin recalled signing his first Bollywood film when he was competing in Kashmir. His first role was in director Ravikant Nagaich, where he had no dialogue.

Later, Pravin made another film in 1981, titled Rakshasa, which followed with more roles. In Bollywood, his most memorable performance was as Mukhtaar Singh in Amitabh Bachchan’s Shahenshah.

Praveen’s film credits include Karishma Kudrat Kaa, Yudh, Zabardast, Singhasan, Khudgarz, Loha, Mohabbat Ke Dushman, Ilaaka and more. In the late ’80s, he would be signed to play Bhim in BR Chopra’s Mahabharat, which would immortalize him in the eyes of audiences. Like other actors, Pravin became synonymous with his role on the popular Mythology show.

In 2013, Pravin tried to enter politics and ran for parliamentary elections with the Aam Aadmi party vote in Delhi’s Wazirpur constituency, but lost. After this defeat, he joined the Bharatiya Janata Party. In 2021, Pravin expressed dissatisfaction with not receiving a pension from the Punjab government.

Sonakshi takes saiyyan Zaheer to bhaiya Kapil Sharma’s show; Shatrughan Sinha joins them as ‘bhola bhala aadmi’

This weekend, Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal will grace Kapil Sharma’s show with Shatrughan Sinha and Poonam Sinha for a family special episode

Back in May this year, Sonakshi Sinha made an appearance on Kapil Sharma’s comedy show to promote her web series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. The actor was joined by her co-stars Manisha Koirala, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh and Sharmin Segal. During this episode, Kapil told Sonakshi that her fellow Bollywood divas Alia Bhatt and Kiara Advani are now married. Hearing this, Sonakshi claimed that Kapil is rubbing salt in her wounds because he knows how eager she is to get married. Sonkashi’s wish was granted a month later when she tied the knot with Zaheer Iqbal. Well, she is now returning to Kapil’s show, this time with her husband.

In the trailer of the upcoming episode, Sonakshi introduces Zaheer to Kapil in a hilarious way. She claims that anyone who wants to get married should come to Kapil’s show and call him ‘bhaiya’. Gesturing at Zaheer, Sonakshi then tells Kapil, “Bhaiya, meet my saiyyan.” Well, things get even more fun when Sonakshi’s superstar father Shatrughan Sinha joins them along with her mother Poonam Sinha. This is the first time the entire Sinha family and their new son-in-law have appeared together on national television. At the end of this trailer, Shatrughan describes himself as ‘bhola bhala, shareef aadmi’. But Poonam leaves everyone in splits when she replies, “Mujhse poocho.”

In another fun bit, Shatrughan reveals how Dharmendra once told him to always be ‘a one woman man, at a time’. Well, fans can’t keep calm and are now expressing their excitement in the comment section below. For instance, one social media user gushed, “So happy they’re gonna be on the show! ❤️❤️❤️❤️,” whereas another Sonakshi-Zaheer fan claimed, “This episode is a slap to people who were saying that Shatrughan was not happy with Sonakshi and Zaheer’s marriage.”
