New Delhi: Veteran actor Javed Khan Amrohi passed away in Mumbai on Tuesday. He was reportedly suffering from breathing problems and had been bedridden for the past year.  

A source close to the actor told Times Now, “Javed Khan was suffering from breathing problem and was bed ridden for the past one year. He was admitted to Surya Nursing Home, Santacruz, where he breathed his last. His both lungs failed. Today at 6.30 pm the supurde-e-khak ceremony will be performed at Oshiwara cemetery.”

Javed's co-actor and close friend Tiku Talsania spoke to ETimes and expressed shock over his demise. 

"Javed was a very nice person. I am still not in terms to say the word 'was' for him because I am learning about his death now and I am in shock. Though we say death is a natural process, it is sad to lose a friend like him. He was a fantastic human being and a great friend of mine. We had so many memories together. Not just in 'Andaz Apna Apna', we worked together on many projects. We did TV shows together and it was all nice. He was always the first one to try something new during the shoot. It is a very sad thing that has happened. I shall pray for him. He was always expressive and was always ready to take things forward in whatever we did. He used to always give advice to me. This is how Mr. Javed was. May his soul rest in peace," Tiku Talsania was quoted as saying by ETimes.

Javed Khan Amrohi was seen in films like 'Lagaan', 'Andaz Apna Apna', 'Chak De India', 'Coolie No 1', among many others. He also appeared in TV shows like Mirza Ghalib and Nukkad.
