Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actor Ghanshyam Nayak, who plays Nattu kaka, breathed his last today evening. He was 76 and was battling with cancer since December. The last rites will be performed tomorrow morning at the electric crematorium at Kandivali West.

Nayak had recently resumed shooting for the comic caper after undergoing chemotherapy for treatment of cancer. He was back on the set after four months and was keen to work as long as he can. “Being on the set gives me joy,” he had recently said to Hitlist.
