Actor Akhil Mishra, known for playing librarian
Dubey in 3 Idiots, has died. He was working in his kitchen and slipped. His
body has been sent for post-mortem.
Reportedly, his wife-actor Suzanne Bernert was in
Hyderabad for a shoot when the incident took place and soon rushed home after
hearing the heart-breaking news. Suzanna said, “My heart is broken, my second
half is gone.”
Akhil was part of films like Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi, Bhopal:
A Prayer for Rain, Mere Dost Picture Abhi Baki Hai, Radio, Blue Oranges, Don,
Kram, Well Done Abba, Gandhi My Father, Is Raat Ki Subah Nahin, Shikhar,

Uttaran, Udaan, Mera Dil Dewaana, Pardes Mein Mila Koi Apna, Hatim, Kadam, Sea
Hawks, Shrimaan Shrimati, Grihalakshmi Ka Jinn and Rajani among others.
Akhil and German actor Suzanne Bernert tied the knot
on February 3, 2009. They again married on September 30, 2011, in a traditional
way. He had worked with Suzanne in Kram and Mera Dil Dewaana.
Akhil was kind enough to put his career on hold to help his wife learn ‘shudh Hindi’, Suzanne recently said in an interview.
In 2019 they shot a short film titled Majnu ki
Juliet, which Akhil wrote, acted in and directed.
