Just read in the Indian Express, that Rajesh Joshi who played
Pakya in Rangeela died in a road accident.

He did a great job in Rangeela as a defiitive tappori. I found his
scenes in Rangeela were the funniest and honestly feel the
film industry has been deprived of a great actor.

Here is the report from Indian Express (SCREEN):

Rajesh (Pakya) Joshi dies in mishap
Rajesh Joshi (29), popularly known as Pakya of Rangeela fame died on
January 11 following a road accident. He is survived by his wife
Falguni. According to family sources, Rajesh was on his way to attend a function when his car hit another vehicle on Veer Savarkar Marg and was severely injured. He was admitted to Hinduja Hospital where he succumbed
to his injuries.

Besides playing a black-marketeer in Rangeela, Rajesh also acted in
Guddu Danoa's Aflatoon. His other films include Kundan Shah's Loveria
and John Matthew Matthan's Sarfarosh.

realy m dam fan of Rajesh Joshi Pakkya...watching many times Rangila for his role ...he play a very natural True Friend & very funny carecter....hats of this man
