Hyderabad/Mumbai: Bollywood actor Akhil Mishra, known for his role in Aamir Khan starrer 3 Idiots has passed away at his home in Mumbai. He was 58. The unfortunate incident took place while Mishra's wife, actress Suzanne Bernert, was away in Hyderabad for a movie shoot.
The actor played the character of librarian Dubey in 3 Idiots, which was helmed by noted filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani.
"He was on a chair in the kitchen trying to do something when he fell down and hurt his head and back. He was later rushed to the hospital by the family and neighbours.

Despite the doctor's best efforts, he could not be saved," the publicist for his wife Suzanne Bernert was quoted as saying by news agency PTI on Thursday.
