Speaking to Indian Express, Anita Salim revealed that the actor suffered from cardiac arrest and passed away early morning on Thursday. He had complained of chest pain on Wednesday night. His last rites were carried out in the morning. She said, “We took him to Kokilaben Hospital last night, and he passed away this morning. He hated grieving and wanted life to go on. He didn’t suffer, he wouldn’t have liked being dependent on anyone. He was a man with a lot of self-respect. He was a multifaceted actor, a martial artist, an actor, a director and a lovely chef in the kitchen.”
