Film, television and theatre actor Ranjit Chowdhry passed away in Mumbai on Wednesday at the age of 65. Son of well-known theatre artiste, Pearl Padamsee, Chowdhry had theatre and adworld stalwart Alyque Padamsee for his step-father. An impish person, both in size and personality, he's quick-witted and charming, and has carved out an impressive international film career for himself as Ranjit Chowdhry,” he wrote. He ended up writing the script of my first feature film and starring in it as well,” wrote Mehta. “He was unpredictable, brilliant, and yet had a restlessness that’s somehow evaded his desire to find a creative home… It’s hard to believe that the irrepressible Ranjit Chowdhry is dead.
