Actor Amit Mistry was a very popular name in the industry. He had worked in TV shows like Tenali Rama, Maddam Sir and played roles in many films like Yamla Pagla Deewana, Shor In The City and also web shows. Sadly the actor passed away this morning because of a heat attack.
His manager Maharshi Desai, who has been managing him since some time now, confirmed the news of his death to BT. “I am in complete shock myself. He was all well and was at his home only. He didn’t even complain of any health issue. Post breakfast he felt an ache in his heart and it was a heart attack and his family couldn’t even take him to the hospital. It is a big loss for the entertainment industry to lose an actor like him and I will miss working with him,” shares Maharshi.
Social media has been pouring in with condolences since then. His friends and well-wishers are shocked about his sudden demise. His friends, who spoke to him recently, say that he “sounded perfectly fine when we last spoke to him.” One of his friends, producer Mahir Khan, who worked with him in shows like Dafa 420 and Savdhaan India, says, “I spoke to him around 10 days back and he was healthy and happy. He asked me if I am planning to work on something and when are we working together. He also wanted to meet soon. The news of his death is shocking and heartbreaking. He was a powerhouse of talent and energy. No matter for how many long hours we would shoot, I never saw him complaining. He was very passionate and honest towards his work. He was not just a good actor, but a gem of a person, who was always ready to help others. I will miss him dearly.”
