saying
that
he

take
him
to
his
house.

told
FilmiBeat,
"I
brought
him
to
my
place
in
Vasai.

wasn't
well

the
month

January
-
he
had
developed
protein
deficiency.''Satyendra

Yogeshji
had
lost
interest
in
life
due

which
his
health
was
deteriorating
day
by
day.

added,
"He
started
getting
breathless,
so
I
had
to
admit
him
to
the
hospital
in
Nallasopara,
Mumbai,
where
the
doctor
did
tell
me
that
he
may
not
survive.
He
passed
away
in
the
morning."
The
last
rites
of
the
late
lyricist

to

Saturday
morning,
as

death
certificate
had
yet
to
be
issued
by
the
