"He was an amazing actor and a very positive person. He truly Loved the show and always came for the shoot even if he was not feeling well. He called today morning that he is not well and will not be able to come for shoot. And later we got the news that he passed away. We are all too numb to say anything," says Asit Kumarr Modi, the show’s producer.

Kavi Kumar Azaad's co-star from the show, who plays the society secretary, Mr. Bhide aka Mandar Chandwadkar also shared a heart-breaking reaction with us.

The actor was unwell for three days and was rushed to Wockhardt Hospital at Mira Road when he complained of uneasiness. He was declared dead on arrival.
