Television actor Anuj Thakur passed away on October 27 at the age of 33, leaving the television industry and his fans shocked. The news of his untimely demise was confirmed by his close friend and casting director Rupesh Sonar, who took to Instagram to share an emotional tribute. According to reports, the actor suffered a seizure, which led to his sudden death.
Rupesh, who had known Anuj since 2008, shared that the two had worked together on several television shows over the years. Recalling their long-standing friendship, he revealed that he had last met the actor around 10 days before his demise. He learnt about the tragic news on Friday night through a mutual friend and later received confirmation from Anuj’s family about the circumstances surrounding his death.
Speaking about the heartbreaking incident to TOI, Rupesh recalled, “I was shocked to hear that he had gone to sleep at night and never woke up. I met his family, including his mother and brother, on Saturday. That’s when I was told that Anuj had suffered a seizure and passed away during the episode. Anuj was an early riser. He woke up at 4.30 am every day and followed his routine, which included fitness and jogging. However, that morning, he didn’t get up. His alarm went off at 4.30 am, and when his mother went to his room to wake him, she found that he had died.”
Remembering his friend, Rupesh described Anuj as a generous and wonderful human being, adding that he considered him a younger brother.
Anuj Thakur began his acting journey with the popular Disney Channel teen show Dhoom Machao Dhoom. He later became a familiar face on Indian television with appearances in shows such as Bandhan Saat Janamon Ka and Beend Banoongaa Ghodi Chadhunga. One of the significant milestones in his career was playing Sagar Mehta in the popular BIG Magic sitcom Mahisagar, which earned him recognition among television audiences.
