'''Ram Avtar''' was a character actor turned comedian in [[Bollywood|Hindi]] cinema. He is best known for his roles in [[Nasir Hussain]]'s films, especially ''[[Teesri Manzil]]'' (1967) and ''[[Yaadon Ki Baaraat]]'' (1973). These roles ranged from tickled train passenger in the former to the hero's sidekick in ''[[Jab Pyar Kisi Se Hota Hai]]'' (1961) and ''[[Tumsa Nahin Dekha (1957 film)|Tumsa Nahin Dekha]]'' (1957). He was known for his big stomach and mirthful demeanor.

Avtar began his career in the late-1930s and early 1940s, as a character actor. Over the 1950s he transitioned into a comedian as he began to put on more weight. Avtar's last film credit was in 1981.
