The Punjabis are grieving and this wound is not going to heal. The entire TV fraternity continues to be in a state of shock over Kushal Punjabi's suicide last week. The actor was found dead in his flat, hanging by a fan when his parents accompanied by Chetan Hansraj opened the door with a duplicate key made by a chabiwallah, who was pressed into service after 9.30 pm when Kushal had stopped answering his mobile since 3 pm.
The irony is that Kushal looked absolutely fine even the night before; he actually had dinner and drinks with his Dad (Vijay) at his Khar flat (Kushal resided in Pali Hill). And what did they talk? Well, a lot of things here and there like any father and son would- but the topic which seemed to crystallise in the conversation what that Kushal needed to be hospitalised.
The medical condition in question was a dislocated shoulder. Kushal had injured himself in the Circuit Race he had participated in, few days before his demise. Seems, the shoulder needed surgery and restricted movement for the next 4 months.
And then suddenly, it was all over around 3 pm. By the time, the door to his flat was opened- the body had turned cold, as Chetan Hansraj told us in his interview.
Just in case you didn't read that, we reproduce the interview below.
May Kushal's soul rest in peace.
