The 70-year-old actor, who has entertained generations with his performances, is said to be under medical supervision. A report from Telly Chakkar confirms his deteriorating health, but further details from his family and friends remain undisclosed.
A Legendary Career in Bollywood
Tiku Talsania has been a household name in Indian cinema, particularly in the 1990s, with memorable roles in hit films such as Coolie No. 1, Jodi No. 1, and Andaz Apna Apna.

Memories of Mahesh Bhatt’s Unconventional Genius
Last year, Talsania shared fascinating anecdotes from his time working with Mahesh Bhatt, shedding light on the director’s unconventional filmmaking methods. In an interview with Pinkvilla, he recalled Bhatt’s instinctive approach to direction.

Shocked, Talsania hesitated before making a suggestion, to which Bhatt replied, “Yahi toh lagana tha mujhe.” This is exactly where I wanted to place it.
Talsania also reminisced about how Bhatt often made spur-of-the-moment casting decisions, sometimes offering roles to actors on instinct.
