He told TOI, "Mr Malik's son has passed away but I cannot say anything at the moment about what exactly happened. We are not in a state to speak."
If reports are to be believed, Girish's son had returned home after playing Holi. After his fall from the building, he was immediately taken to the Kokilaben Ambani hospital. However, he didn't survive. He was only 17-years-old. The shocking incident took place at around 5 pm.

The producer of Torbaaz, Rahul Mittra told Times of India, "I am non-plussed to learn about the unfortunate incident and just informed Sanju who's deeply saddened too. We are shocked beyond words. I had met Mannan a couple of times along with Girish during the making of Torbaaz and found him to be very talented & a boy of promise. May God give Girish and the entire family strength to cope up with this irreversible loss. My heartfelt condolences."
Girish made his directorial debut with Jal in 2013. He is popularly known for Jal, Torbaaz and Mann Vs Khan.
