The seasoned performer Gufi Paintal, who portrayed the maternal uncle Shakuni in the Mahabharata, has left this world.

Due to a cardiac condition, he was just admitted to the hospital. Then, on June 5, at the age of 78, he passed away.

Throughout his career, Gufi Paintal appeared in other TV shows and films, but no one else could have earned him the notoriety that Mahabharata did.

Hiten, Gufi's nephew, was quoted as saying, "He died away today about 9 am. His heart was failing. He had a 79-year-old age. His condition was critical when he was recently admitted to the hospital.

The crowd adored BR Chopra's well-known historical production "Mahabharata." Every member of this show's cast has earned a special place in the hearts of the viewers.

Goofy Paintal's name is also listed among these artists. Shakuni Mama was portrayed by Goofy Paintal in the programme.

Goofy Paintal's name is still brought up whenever Shakuni Mama's performing is discussed, although it is regrettable that the actor is no longer with us.
