Obituaries are always sad but whenever they are written, they talk about all the bigwigs of politics, industries, icons or film stars who have a larger than life image and entertain us.
But there always are some silent contributors who work tirelessly, selflessly and perform to perfection for whatever comes to their platter, irrespective of the quantum and still manage to make a place for themselves.
One such personality, the one and only ‘Kalia’, Viju Khote passed away without letting the world know that he was unwell. The silence is more saddening considering the new trend of popularity hype which all newcomers generate through reality shows and get an instant fame.
‘Sholay’ by all means is the biggest landmark of Hindi Film Industry and is known for its talented crowd gracing the big canvas to perfection. To make a mark in the shortest of roles possible by delivering an all time memorable dialogue “เคธเคฐเคฆाเคฐ เคฎैंเคจे เคเคชเคा เคจเคฎเค เคाเคฏा เคนै”, Viju Khote not only made himself immortal but also proved “ เคฐोเคฒ เคฌเคก़ा เคนोเคจा เคाเคนिเค เคฒंเคฌा เคจเคนीं”.
It’s a tough rule of life that one gets stuck in his image and to break those shackles is not easy. Viju Khote was liked and seen till almost recently and whichever the roles he had, they were worth remembering whether it was Shambhu Kaka of ‘Golmaal 3’or Shirish Appa of ‘Ventilator’ in Marathi.
I am not a big fan of movies, but some losses hurt and when a humble human being makes an exit, the emotional connect strengthens more.
Maybe Viju Khote deserved more, but whatever he gave us will always be cherished and he will remain in our memories forever.
RIP Kalia ! The real Viju Khote ๐♂️ ๐♀️
