Anupama actress Rupali Ganguly mourns the death of her close friend and colleague Nitesh Pandey.

Sharing fond memories about her bond with Nitesh, Rupali says, 

"He was the only industry friend who constantly stayed in touch with me apart from Delnaaz and Sarabhai's cast during my sabbatical. He had even come to meet me after Rudransh was born. I can’t believe this! His son Aarav is just a few months older than Rudransh. He had messaged me just last week about a painting he had made, and we had made plans to make our sons meet. "

"We would bond over dogs. His wife Arpita is an animal caretaker and feeder, too, like me. I am devastated! He was so so so fiercely protective of me. Even when he came to Anupamaa,  it felt as if you had your bestie next to you at your workplace. Just this month beginning, I had gone very late for films get together and saw his car leaving, so I called him and said I saw you and he said tu ruk main aata hoon gaadi ghumake , and I said no no ghar jaa agale hafte milte hai. Teen hafte ho gaye uss baat ko and now I will never meet him.  I can't believe this!", shares Rupali. 

Nitesh Pandey passes away at 51 due to a cardiac arrest.
