Praveen Kumar Sobti is no more with us

Actor 'Praveen Kumar Sobti', who made a place in the hearts of the people of India from house to house by playing the role of 'Mahabali Bheem' in the serial 'Mahabharata', is no more with us. May God rest his soul in peace, and give strength to his family to bear this loss. I actually idolized him as the real BHEEM. It was his memorable work ever. He was one of my most favourite characters of MAHABHARAT. He will always be remembered for his unforgettable performance as Bheem.... no one can play this role except him.

Praveen Kumar Sobti is no more with us

Mahabharata's characters play a big positive moral impact to us specially the character of "Bheema". Today this sudden demise has made me speechless. Apart from his Mahabharat role, I also adored him for his role in Shehanshah!! It was one of a kind. Action, comedy. I wish, he could've attended the Kapil Sharma Show. We grew up watching serials like Mahabharat. He played his character so well. He might hv left his mortal body but his work n contribution to Mahabharata by his act will always be immortal.

In the Mahabharata serial, 'Nitish Bhardwaj' also played the historical role of 'Shri Krishna' with him. He wrote for Praveen Kumar Sobti:

Praveen Kumar Sobti No more - Champion of Asian Games, but well known also for his performance of BHEEM in our Mahabharat. Many memories flood my mind at this moment. ... many incidents; but what I remember him as .... ? As a true blood sportsman who would never indulge in petty politics, back biting, criticising anyone behind his back and most importantly, he had learnt to laugh at life and spread his laughter & joy to others through his Punjabi humour. He was a pure & simple soul from a 'pind' (village) of Punjab. May his soul get SADGATI, & freedom from the cycle of rebirth. I offer my silent prayers for his soul.
