Savita Bhatti had been campaigning in Chandigarh after she was.

Chandigarh, June 5: He was comedy's famous Sardar and highlighted all that was nonsensical in society in his trademark style. For nearly three decades, comedian-actor-director Jaspal Bhatti entertained - and touched - the masses with his 'Nonsense Club' by highlighting social evils. After his tragic death in a car accident last October, his wife Savita Bhatti, wants to keep the flag flying high.

Faced with his sudden demise, Savita Bhatti thought that it would not be appropriate for her to drown in sorrow in the memory of a man whose aim was to bring smiles to the people's faces and to entertain them.

"It was a hard time for us after his sudden death. But I decided to keep his Nonsense Club brand and his comedy style alive,".
