Actor Vipin Sharma, who has featured in films like Taare Zameen Par and Raanjhanaa, paid tribute to Nimish Pilankar on Twitter. "Many techs work over time and rarely get paid for that. It's terrible. Afraid to loose work, they stay quiet and keep working. Many times they may not get fully paid as well while they already accept to work for less money in the first place. RIP Nimish Pilankar," he tweeted.

Writer Vinta Nanda paid condolences to Nimish Pilankar and tweeted: "Heartfelt condolences to friends/family. Bollywood doesn't care. We've been advocating - The long hours workers forced to work, the odd hours at which they are summoned. They are made to work against their ideals, principles, for their survival. Pathetic."
