Senior journalist Vinod Dua on Saturday breathed his last. He was 67. The sad news was confirmed his daughter and actress Mallika Dua.
“Our irreverent fearless and extraordinary father, Vinod Dua has passed away. He lived an inimitable life, rising from the refugee colonies of Delhi to the peak of journalists excellence for over 42 years, always, always speaking truth to power,” his daughter and actor-comic Mallika Dua had wrote on social media.
According to sources, his cremation will take place tomorrow.
“My Papaji is beyond critical in the ICU. His health had been deteriorating rapidly since April. He also is unable to come to terms with losing the light of his life. He has lived an extraordinary life and given us the same. He deserves no pain. He is immensely loved and revered and I request you all to pray that he experiences as little pain as possible,” Mallika Dua wrote on Instagram.
