Punjabi actor and comedian Jaswinder Bhalla wasn’t just a comedy legend on-screen, he was a people’s favourite off-screen too. Known for lighting up screens with his trademark wit and unmissable comic timing, Bhalla's personality was as warm and grounded. And one of his last social media posts beautifully captured that essence.
Jaswinder Bhalla talks about a fan who didn't want a selfie but...
In 2019, during his visit to the Golden Temple (Darbar Sahib) in Amritsar, Jaswinder Bhalla had an interaction with fans that moved him deeply. He went to the shrine with his wife to offer prayers and spend a quiet moment in the parikarma (the circumambulation path). However, it wasn’t long before fans began to recognise him, and a small crowd started to gather.
While most admirers were eager to snap selfies, one fan stood out for an unexpected reason. The man approached Bhalla, not to ask for a photo, but simply to express admiration for his humility. He told the actor that it was refreshing to see a celebrity sitting alone, without an entourage of bodyguards or staff. “You’ve come here just like a common man,” he said. Bhalla, touched by the words, shared this moment in a heartfelt post later, saying it meant more to him than any selfie ever could.

Calling it the 'end of an era in Punjab comedy', netizens mourn the demise of veteran actor. The news of legendary's passing has left many heartbroken. His comedic talent brought people of all ages together, and his contribution to Punjabi cinema remains unforgettable. He will always be remembered as a true icon.
