Letter Published in Gulf News UAE on 18June 19 A loss for the Indian film industry

The demise of 81-year-old actor, playwright and director Girish Karnad was a great loss to the Indian film industry (“Indian theatre personality Girish Karnad dead at 81”, Gulf News, June 11). Known for his versatile roles in film and television, he had been bestowed with many awards during his career, including the Padma Shri, India’s fourth highest civilian award and the Padma Bhushan, India’s third-highest civilian award. His popular movies like Nishaant, Manthan, Swami and his directorial movie, Vamsha Vriksha, won him a national film award. He has many laurels to his credit. May his soul rest in peace.
