[Watch] Delhi Man Playing Lord Ram In Ramlila Collapses, Dies On Stage

New Delhi: A man portraying Lord Ram during a Ramlila performance in Delhi collapsed on stage and died on Saturday.

The incident took place during a performance at Jai Shri Ramleela Vishwakarma Nagar in Delhi’s Shahdara. The victim, identified as 45-year-old Sushil Kaushik, was a property dealer and had been playing the role of Lord Ram.

In a video of the incident, Kaushik is seen delivering his lines when he suddenly clutches his chest and appears to be in distress. He then goes behind the stage and collapses.

According to police, Kaushik suffered a heart attack and was rushed to a hospital in Anand Vihar, where he was pronounced dead.

Earlier in January, a 62-year-old man playing Lord Hanuman at a Ramlila in Haryana’s Bhiwani fell after suffering a heart attack mid-performance and died. In October 2022, an actor who was playing the part of Ravan collapsed and died on stage in Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya district.
