Shahnawaz Pradhan passes away
Surbhi Tiwari, a television actress, happened to be there by coincidence as her brother had treatment there. She reported to Navbharat Times that Shahnawaz was being carried on a stretcher into a room. He was positioned adjacent to her sibling as well.
The actress spoke to the media outlet about how she overheard the doctors declare that Shahnawaz had no pulse. Nothing he received for his heart was working, either. Shahnawaz had a heart attack and fell when they were at a party, according to the people who transported the actor to the hospital. Shahnawaz recently underwent a bypass procedure, as Surbhi also discovered.
Celebs paid tribute
Shahnawaz’s co-star Rajesh Tailang, mourned his loss with an emotional note. He wrote on Instagram, “Shahnawaz bhai aakhiri salaam !!! Kya gazab ke zaheen insaan aur kitne behatar adaakar the aap. Mirzapur ke dauran kitna sundar waqt guzara aapke saath, Yaqeen nahin ho raha (sic).”
