Deepesh Bhan, best known for playing Tikamal in the popular TV show Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain, passed away on the morning of July 23 (Saturday), while playing cricket in his neighbourhood.

The shocking news has devastated his family and friends, who are too stunned to believe that Deepesh is no more.

“Around 7am he was playing cricket with his building friends and he collapsed. The reason of death is still uncertain. He was totally fit and neither used to drink nor smoke. He was a delight to work with as a co-star and he used to do excellent improvisations on the set and add his zing to the scenes,” said his Bhabhiji co-star Rohitashv Gaur.

Producer Binaiffer Kohli also expressed grief at the sudden demise of the young actor.

"His character Tikamal was quite popular. He was one of the fittest actors I knew. When young actors go like this it is really unfortunate. I extend heartfelt condolences to the family,” Kohli said.
