In a shocking turn of events, veteran filmmaker MM Baig was found dead at his residence. He was 70. He was the father of the yesteryear child artist Baby Guddu, who acted in films such as Razia Sultan.
Baig’s body was discovered at his home after neighbours complained about a foul smell coming from the house.
Baig’s publicist, Hania Zaveri, confirmed the death, stating that his body was taken to Cooper Hospital in Mumbai for a post-mortem.
“He was unwell for quite some time. Since, he didn’t come out of the house for four-five days, the neighbours complained to the cops about a foul place coming from his house. The police opened the door and found Baig sahab’s dead body and informed his daughter about it. They later took his body to Cooper Hospital for post-mortem at around 1:30-2:00 am. He was a loving man. I pray for his departed soul,” Zaveri told PTI.
