Yes, this is very sad news. It's a great loss to Indian cinema. We have lost many such legends in the past 2 years. For example, last year Dev Anand & Shammi kapoor passed away. Dara Singh will always be remembered as a powerful actor. He was epitome of strength and that is the reason suited the role of Hanuman in Ramayana so well.

Its kinda hard to believe that 'he is no more'.Such is(not was) the character of that man.He was able to cast a strong un-erasable image in every Indian's mind.As an Individual freestyle wrestler he was a huge success with zero defeats.But why he hasn't been an olympian.He had potential to bag many Olympic gold for India, through out his long carrier as a pro wrestler.Is there a special reason for that?I don't know.
