Legendary wrestler and actor #Dara Singh passed away at his Mumbai home early on Thursday. He was 83.
Dara Singh, the ‘pehlwan,’ who gave India the global name in wrestling even before independence in 1947 was a champion in every sense.
He may have lost his battle with life but when he lived, he ensured he never lost a bout. He remained undefeated through his wrestling career.
May his soul R.I.P.

Wrestler-turned-actor Dara Singh, who was battling for his life in a Mumbai hospital since the last four days, passed away on Thursday. He was 84.

Singh was shifted back home on Wednesday night after doctors said he has "less chance of recovery" due to significant damage to his brain. "He is already home. Please don't follow us. When he breathes his last, I'll let you know. There is no hope," his son Vindu Dara Singh told reporters.
He was admitted to Kokilaben Hospital in an emergency condition on July 7. He had suffered a cardiac arrest and since then he has been in the ICU.
The Commonwealth wrestling champion entered film industry in the fifties and is known for his roles in King Kong and Faulad. He was last seen in Imtiaz Ali's Jab We Met (2007) playing Kareena Kapoor's grandfather.
The veteran actor had played the character of Hanuman in Ramanand Sagar's epic television series Ramayan.
