Ghanshyam
Nayak,
who
played
the
role
of
Nattu
Kaka
in
popular
sit-com
Taarak
Mehta
Ka
Ooltah
Chashmah,
passed
away
yesterday
(October
3)
after
battling
with
cancer.
Nattu
Kaka
was
one
of
the
most-loved
chacters
of
fans
and
the
senior
actor
was
loved
not
only
by
his
team
but
also
his
fans.
The
entire
cast
and
crew
of
the
show
and
his
fans
were
shocked
over
his
sudden
demise.
His
co-star
Tanmay
Vekaria
aka
Bagga,
who
got
maximum
scenes
with
Ghanshyam
on
the
show,
revealed
that
the
actor
was
in
a
lot
of
pain
since
past
two-three
months
and
was
not
able
to
gulp,
eat
or
even
drink
water.
He
added
that
the
actor
was
in
immense
pain
and
had
become
cranky
because
of
it.
Tanmany
told
ETimes
TV
that
it's
a
huge
loss
for
all
of
them,
not
just
for
him
but
for
the
entire
team
as
they
all
were
very
attached
to
him.
He
added
that
the
late
actor
was
a
nice
and
pure
soul.
He
said,
"I
would
always
remember
Ghanshyam
ji
as
one
of
the
pure
souls
that
I've
ever
met
in
my
life.
I
don't
think
I
will
ever
meet
a
person
like
him
ever.
He
was
a
very
simple
person
and
I
never
saw
him
ever
talking
ill
about
anyone.
He
always
spoke
about
positivity.
He
was
very
passionate
about
his
work.
I
think
God
had
some
other
plans
for
him.
I
and
the
entire
Taarak
family
will
miss
him
every
single
day."
Tanmay
added,
"He
was
in
a
lot
of
pain
since
the
last
2-3
months
and
I
feel
now
he
is
in
a
better
place.
I
would
often
speak
to
his
son
and
he
would
tell
me
that
he
was
in
immense
pain
and
had
become
cranky
because
of
it.
He
was
not
able
to
gulp,
eat
or
even
drink
water.
He
was
going
through
a
lot,
so
in
a
way
now
he
is
in
the
safe
hands
of
God.
May
his
soul
rest
in
peace."
The
last
rites
of
the
actor
will
take
place
today
(October
4).
Tanmay
said
that
unfortunately,
he
won't
be
able
to
attend
the
funeral
as
he
is
suffering
from
malaria
and
have
been
advised
complete
bed
rest.
Although
he
wants
to
go,
he
won't
be
able
to
as
he
is
very
weak
at
present
because
of
Malaria.
He
said
that
he
had
a
word
with
Ghanshyam's
son.
The
actor
said
that
the
entire
star
cast
is
very
hurt
and
shocked
at
the
moment.
He
added
that
Dilip
Joshi
is
abroad
and
he
tried
to
call
him
but
couldn't
get
through.
He
feels
that
the
actor
is
returning
to
India
and
must
be
in
flight.
