Mumbai, Aug 5 — Bollywood star Salman Khan remembered his friend and late veteran actor Pradeep Rawat in a heartfelt Instagram post on Wednesday.

Salman shared a still from one of their scenes in the 1990 film Baaghi: A Rebel for Love on his Stories, accompanied by the note: “Shared many good moments with you brother...May you rest in peace.”

Pradeep Rawat passed away at the age of 74 on Tuesday. The veteran actor had reportedly been battling a relapse of cancer.

Veteran actor Surendra Pal Singh also paid tribute to his Mahabharat co-star. He uploaded a video of a scene from the series and recalled their association.

“Gone too soon, but never forgotten. @i_pradeeprawat Working alongside Pradeep Rawat ji in Mahabharat is a memory I will always cherish. His dedication, strength, and powerful presence as Ashwatthama left an unforgettable mark on every heart that watched him. Some journeys end, but true legends live forever through their work and the memories they leave behind. Rest in peace, my friend. Om Shanti. #PradeepRawat #Mahabharat #OmShanti,” he wrote.

Surendra Pal portrayed Guru Dronacharya, the royal preceptor of the Kauravas and Pandavas and father of Ashwatthama, in B.R. Chopra’s 1988 television series Mahabharat.
