She also noted that the death news gives her a reality check.
"It's a shocking news. I came to know about his illness a month back, but could not go to meet him as I'm in my last trimester of pregnancy. He was the most lively person on the sets. He was a great human being and great actor. Someone just passing away like that gives you a reality check," Gurdeep told IANS.
Mr Bedi appeared in a slew of shows like Jaane Kya Baat Hui, Thodi Si Zameen Thoda Sa Aasman and Kyaa Hoga Nimmo Kaa among others. However, the actor was missing from the scene for quite some time. Mr Bedi, in his late 30s, is survived by his wife.
Gurdeep also noted that he "quit acting and when you are not in the industry then you lose the contacts".
Karanvir added that "Sanjit went abroad for some work and after he came back he started practising yoga."
Micro-blogging site Twitter was also a buzz with condolence messages pouring in from every quarters.
Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit remembered Sanjit for his acting prowess.
