Talking
about
Kavi's
death,
the
producer
of
TMKOC
Asit
Kumarr
Modi
told
Mid-day,
"After
his
health
scare
in
2009,
he
promised
to
take
better
care
of
himself.
He
was
not
married
and
considered
the
Taarak
Mehta
team
as
family.
Often,
he
would
bring
home-cooked
food
for
the
entire
team.
He
would
tell
me,
‘When
I
come
to
the
set,
the
people
here
make
me
forget
all
my
troubles'."
Kavi’s
Old
Interview
In
an
old
interview,
Kavi
had
detailed
that
he
had
to
undergo
a
surgery
years
ago.
He
had
revealed
how
he
was
almost
dead
as
he
had
collapsed
on
the
sets
and
was
put
on
a
ventilator.
He
had
said
that
it
was
a
miracle
that
he
was
still
alive
and
added
that
he
faced
weight
issues
since
childhood.
‘I
Was
Almost
A
Dead
Case’
He
was
quoted
by
a
leading
daily
as
saying,
"I
had
to
be
wheeled
into
the
hospital.
I
was
almost
a
dead
case."He
further
added,
"Since
childhood,
I've
been
a
butt
of
many
jokes.
I
would
completely
avoid
going
out.
People
would
laugh
at
me.
Professionally,
it
was
a
cumbersome
task.
I
would
get
tired
easily."
Kavi
Had
Revealed
"I
couldn't
walk
a
step
without
it
being
a
task
-
if
I
did,
it
would
be
like
a
robot.
Even
getting
into
the
car
was
a
task.
Medically,
I
was
a
mess.
I
was
breathless
even
while
doing
routine
tasks
and
I
had
severe
sleep
apnea."
He
had
said
that
he
had
improved
his
quality
of
life
afterwards!
