Marathi actress Danseuse Ashwini Ekbote Last Performance In Pune

The sudden demise of actor-dancer Ashwini Ekbote while performing on stage on Saturday evening left people shocked. Ekbote (44), a popular face remembered for her splendid performances in theatre, television and films, suffered a cardiac arrest during the closing act of programme, Natya Trividha, at Bharat Natya Mandir in Sadashiv Peth and died within minutes. As it was the premier show of the programme, her close friends and relatives were present at the event. Ekbote’s parents too were among those present who witnessed her final collapse. Sharad Ponkshe, the actor who had a 15-year-long association with Ekbote, too was part of the audience when the unfortunate incident happened. Ponkshe and Ekbote worked together in several films, TV serials and plays, and the former also directed Ekbote in the play, Eka Kshankat. “I can’t believe this has happened. None of us who knew her can believe our own eyes though it happened in front of us. I had called her in the morning and told her that I might skip the premier show of her programme as I was tired from my morning performance. She wouldn’t listen and told me that I have to be there,” said Ponkshe who was also among those who rushed her to a nearby hospital where Ekbote was declared dead. “May be she had an intuition of things to come,” he added.
