Satya Devi was quoted by PTI as saying, "He died today morning due to COVID-19 at the hospital. He had fever and wasn't keeping well. We admitted him to the hospital on Thursday and got him tested, where it turned out that he was COVID-19 positive."

Apart from Mahabharat, he was seen in popular television shows like Circus and Vikram Betal. He also worked in nearly 300 Hindi and Punjabi films. A few Bollywood films in which he worked are Pyaar Toh Hona Hi Tha and Aunty No 1.

The actor had moved to Punjab from Mumbai and had started an acting school around 2011, but the school shut shop, and reportedly, he suffered a financial blow. He fractured his hip bone in 2015 and was bedridden for two and a half years. He later checked in to an old age home, where he stayed till 2019, before moving into a rented house.

Last year, in May, it was said that the actor doesn't have enough money to meet his basic expenses and was staying with a nurse (Satya), who used to take care of him in an old-age home.

His condition worsened after nationwide lockdown and he had appealed to the film industry for help. He had expressed his wish to buy a house of his own in the city and had hoped to act more.
