Basra made his mark even in some blink-and-miss roles
As an actor, Basra was marked by his expressive eyes. He commanded attention even in the smallest of roles. Often his acting was so effortless you hardly seemed to notice it. He only had a minute or more of screen time as a predatory shark hitting on a lonely Geet Dhillon (Kareena Kapoor) in a railway station in “Jab We Met”, but we still remember the scene. His excellence was also evident in a recent Titan ad with Rajkummar Rao. The way his facial expressions change when he learns that his former young employee is offering him a CEO’s job underlined his quality as an actor. He had also worked in 2017 Himachali film “Saanjh”, described as the first in the state’s western Pahari language. Several Bollywood actors and directors expressed shock at his sudden death.
