Television actor Anuj Thakur died on October 27 at the age of 33, according to reports from The Indian Express and Times Now. The actor reportedly suffered a seizure while sleeping and did not wake up the next morning.
Casting director and friend Rupesh Sonar confirmed the news via an Instagram post. Sonar stated that the actor's mother discovered he had passed away when she went to wake him at 4.30 am, as he was an early riser who typically followed a fitness routine.
