The actor died earlier this evening due to lung cancer, his business partner Shivam said. He was diagnosed with lung cancer five years ago and later recovered. However, the cancer recently relapsed, and he was admitted to Nanavati Hospital around 15 days ago. The disease had also spread to his liver.
