He

He

place.
When
his
condition
deteriorated
in
the
night,
he
was
taken
to
the

He

The
multi-talented
personality
made
his
directorial

A

was
showing
some
signs
of

In
fact,

had
even
said
in

"He's
been
responding
to
audio
therapy,
particularly
when
we
play
his
father's

Vinayak
Rai
Nanalal
Vora)
music.
He
has
yet
to
recover
his
speech
but
there
are
no
infections
or
bed
sores
and
the
doctors
have
assured
us
that
his
life
is
out
of
danger."
Suniel
Shetty
too
had
told
a
leading
tabloid,
"We
must
make
it
(part
3)
for
fans...
I
believe
he
(Neeraj)
is
doing
better
now.
Once
he
is
fit,
we
will
roll
out
the
film."
We
offer
our
heartfelt
condolences
to
the
Vora
family.
