Rohitashv, who played the lead in the show, reveals that the late actor was under financial stress. Arvind passed away on Tuesday due to a heart attack. He was on his way for a shoot when he suffered the attack and was rushed to a nearby hospital.
Talking to indianexpress.com, Rohitashv said, “Yes, he passed away two days back and it’s unfortunate news. After Lapataganj ended, we used to talk on the phone. He died of a heart attack and he was very stressed because of finances.”
Rohitashv, who is currently seen in Bhabi ji Ghar Par Hai, shared that he never spoke to Arvind’s family because they stayed in the village and would stay in touch with the late actor through phone calls.
“He used to talk to me about it because after the pandemic, things became very difficult for actors and he was also struggling. No one comes forth to help actors in such tough times. I am lucky that I got work. Stress is what causes heart attacks. His family was in the village so I never spoke to them or met them,” the actor says.
Rohitashv also reveals that a group of friends are planning to support his family in the village financially. “I have now got a phone number of his wife. All of us friends are now planning to somehow help his wife and children financially in whichever way we can. That planning is underway,” he says.
The actor also reminds of a similar situation had occurred when his Bhabi ji Ghar Par Hai co-star Deepesh Bhan died and the cast came together to repay his debts. “Similar thing had happened when Deepesh Bhan ji passed away and all of us came together, especially Soumya Tandon ji, to raise funds and repay his loan. This is the best part about our TV industry that we help each other, ” says Rohitashav.
Arvind’s Facebook page has a message on behalf of his wife, confirming the untimely death of the actor.
