He was 86 and had been ailing since some time when he breathed his last at his Santacruz residence.

He is survived by his estranged son Ajay and daughter-in-law Varsha Usgaonkar, a former leading Marathi and Hindi films actress.


Ravi’s end came just four days after he celebrated his 86th birthday among a few friends and relatives.

Noted for his heart-touching, soft, melodious and soulful tunes, Ravi’s songs and immortal music are hummed even today, decades after he composed them, giving them an ageless character.
