"It is heart-breaking to see him go so young," the producer of Taarak Meha Ka Ooltah Chasma Asit Kumarr Modi told mid-day about actor Kavi Kumar Azad, who died of a cardiac arrest on Monday. Kavi Kumar Azad played Dr Hansraj Hathi in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. In the morning, he had called Mr Modi and said that he wasn't well and hence, won't be able to come for shoot. "After his health scare in 2009, he promised to take better care of himself. He was not married and considered the Taarak Mehta team as family. Often, he would bring home-cooked food for the entire team. He would tell me, 'When I come to the set, the people here make me forget all my troubles'. It is heart-breaking to see him go so young," Asit Kumarr Modi told mid-day.
Ambika Ranjankumar, who played his wife in the show, told mid-day, "He was a happy-go-lucky person on set. He has left behind so many fond memories."
Kavi Kumar Azad was reportedly 45. His last rites were performed in Mumbai on Tuesday afternoon.
