Animator Charu Khandal, who was part of the team that won a National Award for Best Special Effects for Shah Rukh Khan's film 'Ra.One', passed away at the age of 32 on Tuesday.


Red Chillies VFX shared a Facebook post in Charu's memory that read, "In memory of Charu Khandal: Charu Khandal, a former team member of our studio, passed away on Tuesday morning, 17th January, 2017. Charu will always be remembered for being a happy go lucky, spirited girl and a true fighter!

RIP Dear Charu, you will always be remembered..."


Charu Khandal had been paralysed from the neck down after an accident in Mumbai in 2012. Charu was returning from a party after celebrating her team's National Award win for their work in 'Ra.One'.

The auto rickshaw in which Charu was travelling was hit by a speeding car, whose driver was apparently drunk.

According to reports, Charu Khandal passed away after battling a viral infection. Her immunity reportedly became weak after the unfortunate incident in 2012.
