Celebrities mourn Dara Singh’s death

Former wrestling champion and actor Dara Singh breathed his last at his home today.

Late Wednesday, a very critical Dara Singh was shifted from the hospital to his residence according to his family’s wishes. He had been unwell for a while.

His portrayal of Hanuman in a mythological television series during his heydays is best remembered even today. He is survived by his wife and six children – three sons and three daughters.

Celebrities took to Twitter to pay tribute to their favourite ‘Hanuman’. Here are some of the tweets:
