Famed Bollywood actor Ashish Chowdhury’s sister and brother-in-law were reportedly among the hostages killed at the Oberoi Trident Hotel in Mumbai.

"My sister Monica and her husband have been inside the hotel along with maybe 40 other hostages. They came here for dinner last night, but now they are not answering any calls," Chowdhury told a news channel Thursday.

The actor had been waiting outside the hotel since he heard about the attacks, according to reports, and broke down upon hearing she and her husband were among the dead.

More than 150 people have been killed since gunmen attacked 10 sites across India's financial capital starting Wednesday night, including 22 foreigners - two of them Americans, officials said.
