Ranjit Chowdhry, a Bollywood actor who crossed over to the US mainstream, died Wednesday at a Mumbai hospital. He was 64-years-old and suffered a ruptured ulcer that required emergency surgery, according to reports. Chowdhry had returned to India for some dental work, but then was trapped there by the pandemic travel shutdown.
His US acting resume also includes the TV shows Prison Break, Girls, and Law & Order: SVU. In films, he appeared in Last Holiday starring Queen Latifah and the 1990 film Lonely in America.
Survivors include a half-sister, Raell Padamsee. She said a celebration of his life will be held on May 5.
