68-year-old Ravi Chopra breathed his last on Wednesday.

The Baghban filmmaker was ill for a while and was admitted for treatment of chronic lung ailment a week ago. Chopra's last few years were spent in hospitals as a worsened lung infection took its toll and the filmmaker had not been seen in public for a long time.

A cousin of Aditya Chopra and Uday Chopra, Ravi hit the spotlight for directing the epic Indian television series Mahabharat.

He is survived by his wife and three children.
