Veteran actor Arun Bali, best known for his work on TV show 'Swabhimaan' and blockbuster hit '3 Idiots', died on Friday morning at his residence in suburban Mumbai. He was 79.

Bali's son Ankush said his father was suffering with Myasthenia gravis, an autoimmune disease caused by communication failure between nerves and muscles, for which he was admitted to a hospital early this year.
