“I got the news first when his son phoned me around 5:45 pm,” Tanmay Vekeria, who portrays Bagga in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, told a prominent daily. His condition hasn’t improved since he was admitted to the hospital a few months ago. At 5:30 p.m. today, he died away. He was a diamond, and he was the one that was closest to me. He tried his hardest to work with us again, but his health prevented him. I’m heartbroken that he’s passed away.”
