Television actor Sanjit Bedi, best known for playing Dr Omi in Sanjivani, died in a Mumbai hospital on June 23. He was suffering from a viral ailment of the brain, said his friend and colleague Karanvir Bohra. Mr Bedi is believed to have been in a coma for some time.
Karanvir Bohra, who co-starred with Sanjit Bedi in Kasautii Zindagi Kay, said Mr Bedi had been in hospital for the last one-and-half months and had battled his condition for quite some time.
"He was in the ICU of Bombay Hospital for the past one-and-half months. He had a brain virus for the last year-and-a-half. He breathed his last this morning and his cremation was performed in the afternoon," Karanvir told IANS.
Mr Bedi, who was in his late 30s, is survived by his wife. Sanjit Bedi had appeared on several TV shows produced by Balaji such as Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka and Kasautii Zindagii Kay.
The actor's last rites took place in Mumbai's Chandanwadi Crematorium on Wednesday morning.
Karanvir, who currently starring in Qubool Hai, said, "We got to know each other from Kasautii Zindagii Kay and we came really close. We were in touch since then. The man was full of life. Imagining him to be silent and not being there will be weird." He also told IANS that Mr Bedi had been practicing yoga after returning from working abroad.
