Narsing Yadav, a familiar face in Telugu films known for his comic-villain roles, died in Hyderabad on 31 December 2020 after a prolonged illness. He was being treated for kidney-related ailments and had reportedly been on dialysis in the days leading up to his death. The news of his passing was reported by multiple national and regional outlets and was widely shared across the Telugu film community.
Born in Hyderabad, Narsing Yadav built a steady career as a character actor and a dependable supporting performer. Over three decades he appeared in hundreds of films across Telugu and other Indian languages, frequently cast as a henchman, comic sidekick or small-time villain — roles that made him a recognisable presence in mainstream Tollywood productions. His credits include notable films such as Kshana Kshanam, Gaayam, Mutha Mestri, Anukokunda Oka Roju, Shankar Dada M.B.B.S., Pokiri and other popular titles.
A career of steady, supporting craft
Narsing’s career was not built around lead roles, but on reliability and character work — the kind of supporting performances that Indian commercial cinema depends on. Directors and casting teams repeatedly called on him for parts that required a recognisable screen personality: menacing henchmen with a comic edge, or the rugged local types that lend texture to mainstream narratives. He frequently collaborated with filmmakers across the Telugu industry and had worked in some Hindi and Tamil productions as well.
Health struggles and final days
Reports at the time said Narsing Yadav had been suffering from chronic kidney disease and had been undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Hyderabad. According to press coverage, his condition worsened during a hospital stay and he passed away on the night of 31 December 2020. Several outlets noted that he had been admitted for dialysis shortly before his death.
Public reaction and legacy
Colleagues, fans and film-industry figures offered condolences in the hours after his death, recalling the actor’s on-screen persona and his steady body of work. For many viewers, Narsing’s presence — whether in a tense scene as a henchman or in moments of comic relief — provided familiar rhythm to the films he appeared in. While character actors rarely attract the profile of leads, their cumulative contribution shapes the texture and local flavour of regional cinema; in that sense, industry coverage framed Narsing’s career as one of significant, if understated, impact.
On biographical records
Public records and biographical listings show some variation in basic details such as his year of birth. Different databases and media reports have cited varying birth years and brief discrepancies in age at death; this is not unusual for character actors whose early careers predate comprehensive digital records. What is consistent across reliable reports is his long filmography and the fact of his passing on 31 December 2020 in Hyderabad.
A final note
Narsing Yadav’s career offers a reminder of the many working actors whose names may not top marquees yet whose faces, timing and commitment become woven into popular cinema. As Tollywood continues to evolve, the industry’s memory of those contributors — and the roles they made familiar — remains part of its continuing narrative.
