When Sadashiv Amrapurkar was attacked

Written By Unknown on Senin, 03 November 2014 | 21.44

Actor Sadashiv Amrapurkar who passed away on Monday, had always been a propagator of good cause. Last year's festival of Holi was no different. The actor, wanted to reduce the use of water during Holi.

However, things turned ugly, when he went out to convey the same. He was roughed up by a group of people at his Versova, Mumbai residence, when he protested against the excessive usage of water during Holi celebrations. The veteran actor, who had earlier acted in films like 'Sadak' among other Hindi and Marathi films, was approached by a television channel to speak about the shortage of water and the drought in Maharashtra. "We had closed our windows and I was sitting and chit chatting around mid afternoon when a cameraman came to interview me. The society beside ours had brought a DJ and also an artificial shower for rain dance. People were dancing and this went on till the evening. Around 4 pm I felt very upset. When I went down with the cameraman to give the interview, the revellers thought that we were shooting them. They jumped from the other side, climbed the building walls and attacked the cameraman. When I intervened, I was pushed and shoved," a shaken Amrapurkar had told us.

"It is sad how well read people can be so careless. At a time when we are all concerned about the water shortage in the state, they were merrily wasting it," he added. The actor was taken aback with their behaviour as well. "They were all drunk and were throwing water at me. Later, they did not even come to apologise. It is disheartening," he had added.
