Atul Parchure, the actor known for his work in Hindi and Marathi films, passed away on October 14 at the age of 57. He was reportedly battling with cancer for the past few years. He is well known for his comedic roles in several movies and television shows. In 2023, he revealed that he was diagnosed with cancer and doctors found a 5 cm tumour in his liver.
In an interview with Bombay Times in July 2023, he revealed, “I was mentally prepared that something was wrong with me. Despite maintaining a positive outlook, the absence of work caused him sleepless nights. It’s not like negative thoughts didn’t cross my mind. I had many sleepless nights worrying about when I would resume work. On one hand, the income stopped, while the expenses began, and the costs for cancer treatment are enormous.”
“Mediclaim partly saved me, along with my savings; otherwise, it would have been very difficult. I never felt dejected because my family never treated me like a patient,” he further revealed.
Atul Parchure has worked with Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Billu’ and Salman Khan in ‘Partner’. He also worked in ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’. He has worked in several popular Marathi movies.
