TORONTO -- Bollywood screen star Dina Pathak (A Passage to India) died Friday after a long illness. She was 82. Deepa Mehta, the Canadian filmmaker in whose latest film, Bollywood/Hollywood, Pathak starred as a feisty grandmother, said her passing would be felt throughout Bollywood. "She was a consummate actor and wonderful person. It's such a loss not only to the film industry, but also to all the people who came in contact with her and fell in love with her, including me," Mehta said Monday. Pathak performed in more than 200 films, including Gol Maal, Khubsoorat and A Passage to India. Bollywood/Hollywood, her last film, was shot in Toronto in the fall of 2001.
