Veteran screenwriter-actor Shiv Subrahmanyam , known for penning critically-acclaimed films Parinda, 1942: A Love Story, and Chameli, has died, filmmaker Hansal Mehta confirmed on Monday.
“With profound and heartfelt grief, we wish to inform you of the passing of one of the most dignified and noble souls to inhabit human form – our dearest Shiv Subrahmanyam.
Incredibly tragic, esp as it happened just two months after the passing of his and Divya’s only child – Jahaan, taken by a brain tumour 2 weeks before his 16th birthday.
As an actor he last featured in Karan Johar-backed Meenakshi Sundareshwar in 2021.
