**Mimicry Artist Kalabhavan Navas Passes Away After Chest Pain on Set**
**Kochi, Kerala:** Popular mimicry artist and actor Kalabhavan Navas has passed away at the age of 51. According to actor Vinod Kovoor, Navas experienced chest pain while on a film set in Chottanikkara.
In a social media post, Kovoor revealed that Navas consulted a doctor over the phone but chose to continue filming, not wanting to disrupt the shoot. He had planned to seek medical attention after completing his scenes. “But before that, an insensitive jester came and took his life,” Kovoor wrote in his post (translated from Malayalam).
Kovoor expressed his shock and disbelief at the news, recalling how he saw Navas’ body at the Kalamassery mortuary. He also mentioned that Navas had recently entertained family members at a gathering.
“He said that he wants to hug me and gave me a hug. I remember that. We did many stage programs together, more than that Navas was like a brother. Now Navas will be in our memories,” Kovoor added.
Navas’s death has sent shockwaves through the Malayalam film and mimicry community. Kovoor’s post serves as a poignant reminder of the unpredictable nature of life.
“He acted till 5 pm at Chottanikkara cinema set and after reaching the hotel room where he was staying, Navaska completed the role in real life and disappeared behind the curtain of time,” Kovoor wrote.
