Babar Bhatti

Does anyone know if Babar Bhatti is still alive. He played the Punkah Wallah in It Aint Half Hot Mum and appeared in the early Only Fools and Horses episode Cash and Curry.

No idea, I'm afraid. Possibly just one of those people who quit 'the biz'?

He's not listed in Spotlight anymore (the actors database) which would suggest he's either no longer in the business or is no longer with us.

He left acting to become an insurance broker, but I don’t know weather he’s still broking out there or not

I almost said "Barry will know." ;)

He's still living, I found it on a website

Yes, he is alive & kicking! I just dealt to him in my casino in South Florida..
He cracked me & my Welsh Pit Manager up, when he was telling us about the shows he was in..He said "I played the Paki!"
LOL. .still funny

Alive even after eight years(!) Wasn't he the fan wallah?

What is a Welsh pit manager doing in Florida?
