This is a huge blow.
I respected the fellow for being such a great innovator. Words fail me to describe his talent. His work was always refreshing and classy.


Rest In Peace Bhatti Sahab.
I hope you bring loads of laughter wherever you go.
 
RIP Jaspal Bhatti. A really sad week this is.

TIL that she is Yami Gautam's sister who is making her debut with this movie.
 
Damn this month has been a sordid one. First Yash Chopra, then one of my most respected and loved Bengali authors Sunil Gangopadhyay and now Jaspal Bhatti. RIP. :(

I have the collection of flop show and whenever i watch it again it doesnt look of old generation.

It still feels the same even after all this cable revolution.

A true satirist who hit with his performance the hardest way and still making a dent.

Jaspalji you will always have a special place in our heart.

Very Sad news. :( I was shocked to see this. Flop Show will always remain a timeless show. It was genuinely funny, unlike the garbage that is on TV nowadays. Then there were his other famous stunts like asking for police protection because he was going to buy a kilo of onions! This guy a genius at using satire to comment on the society.

May he rest in peace and may his family have the strength to cope with this loss. I read that his son was also injured in the same accident. Hopefully he is out of danger and may he recover from this.
 
RIP, He was the one who enlightened indian public about another angle of protest besides bandh and strikes.
