Arvind’s co-star Roshitahv Gour from Lapataganj confirmed his demise and gave some shocking insights into what could have led to his death. He said, “Yes, he passed away two days back and it’s unfortunate news. After Lapataganj ended, we used to talk on the phone. He died of a heart attack and he was very stressed because of finances.”

Gour further said, “He used to talk to me about it because after the pandemic, things became very difficult for actors and he was also struggling. No one comes forth to help actors in such tough times. I am lucky that I got work. Stress is what causes heart attacks. His family was in the village so I never spoke to them or met them.”

Rohitashv has now mentioned that he and a few of his friends are planning to help Arvind’s family financially; he said “I have now got a phone number of his wife. All of us friends are now planning to somehow help his wife and children financially in whichever way we can. That planning is underway”
