Death is absolute in this world. Lose life, one would never lose anything more.

But if death comes much before you live the life, it is painful. May be death is more certain than God but when comes premature, it pains when one can see death coming.

2021 witnessed few such incidents of premature deaths and a few more writhing ones this year and it were like fate killing a man or woman without the benefit of life they deserved.

The year 2021 saw us bidding goodbye to many celebrities who breathed their last. The legendary actor Dilip Kumar, popular Hindi television actor Sidharth Shukla and actor Puneeth Rajkumar were among those who passed away. Covid-19’s second wave also took away several known faces.
