“I am in complete shock myself. He
was all well and was at his home only. He didn’t even complain of any health
issue. Post breakfast he felt an ache in his heart and it was a heart attack
and his family couldn’t even take him to the hospital. It is a big loss for the
entertainment industry to lose an actor like him and I will miss working with
him,” Desai was quoted by Times of India as saying.
