The Punjabi entertainment fraternity is mourning another personal loss from the Bhalla family. Satwant Kaur, mother of veteran comedian and actor Jaswinder Bhalla, passed away in Mohali. She was 87.
According to family sources, her final rites were conducted at the Mohali cremation ground in the presence of close relatives and members of the film and theatre community. Her passing comes just a year after the death of her son, Jaswinder Bhalla, a name synonymous with Punjabi satire and stage comedy.
Satwant Kaur was also the grandmother of actor Pukhraj Bhalla, who has been active in Punjabi cinema and television. The family has been receiving condolences from across Punjab, with many artists remembering her as a pillar of strength behind one of the industry’s most influential performers.
Jaswinder Bhalla had passed away on August 22, 2025, after suffering a brain stroke. He was undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Mohali at the time. Born on May 4, 1960, in Doraha town of Ludhiana district, Bhalla carved a unique space for himself in Punjabi entertainment through sharp political satire and socially rooted humour.
He rose to prominence with the stage show “Chhankata 88,” which marked the beginning of a long and impactful career. Over the years, he became a household name through theatre, television, and cinema, making a successful transition to films with projects like “Dulla Bhatti.”
With Satwant Kaur’s demise, the Bhalla family closes yet another emotional chapter marked by loss, leaving behind memories deeply connected to Punjab’s cultural and artistic legacy.
