Thread: Bollywood "Gora" baddie Bob Christo dies in Bangalore..

Christo was a qualified Civil Engineer. Known for his muscular physique and bald headed look, Bob Christo came to Mumbai to meet Indian actress Parveen Babi,and also because he was awaiting a work permit to work in Muscat which required him to be out of Muscat.
He got his first break, as a villain, in a Hindi movie Abdullah in 1980.Bob then decided to stay in India and appeared in over 200 movies in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.He was limited to typecast and stereotypical roles acting as a henchman, lead villain's sidekick or a British officer in period films.
During later stage of his life, he worked as a Yoga instructor in Bangalore and remained inactive from the Hindi movie industry from 2003. Partly due to how little is known about him and partly due to the number of movies in which he has appeared, Bob Christo apparently has a cult following of sorts, there is a website dedicated to him called bollybob. On Tuesday 17 June 2008 Adil Ray officially announced as part of the BBC Asian Network's Bollywood month that he was going to search for the legend Bob, however he was unsuccessful.
The 72-year-old actor died of "rupture of left ventricle free valve" in Bangalore on 20 March 2011.




RIP BOB.we will always miss you
