    He played SRK's father in this beloved show

    Shende had an impacting career spreading around 30 years, including his work in the Hindi and Marathi industries. Starting with a small role in Gandhi (1982), Shende was part of evergreen and iconic Hindi shows like Circus and Shanti. In Circus, he played the role of Shah Rukh Khan's father who was also the owner of the titular circus.

    Shende featured in multiple films in 1980-1990s

    Coming to the big screen, the veteran actor charmed us with his talent in several films. Be it the deputy commissioner of police in Aamir Khan-led Sarfarosh (1999) or a shady police officer in Vaastav (1999). Fans of the 1980-1990s films can also find Shende delivering adept performances in Daud, Zameen, Khal Nayak, Ghayaal, Ziddi, Magan, and Viruddh. A powerhouse of a person, indeed!

    A fan celebrated his short but iconic role in 'Daud'

    Besides his performances as a slimy cop in Vaastav and the gentle-hearted circus owner in Circus, I will remember Sunil Shinde for giving one of the most iconic no-nonsense responses of Hindi Cinema (here in Daud) https://t.co/14GO7S1eMk pic.twitter.com/oyXgj4v6c8
