Reports suggest that the actor was admitted to a hospital in Mira Road, and slipped into coma last night. From what we hear, the actor died an hour ago of heart attack.

"He was an amazing actor and a very positive person. He truly Loved the show and always came for the shoot even if he was not feeling well. He called today morning that he is not well and will not be able to come for shoot. And later we got the news that he passed away. We are all too numb to say anything," says Asit Kumarr Modi upon the loss of the senior actor.
