The actor also shared that the late actor also shared that Kumar was facing tough times since Covid like many other actors and didn’t get work.
“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.

The loan was paid off after television actor Saumya Tandon raised a fund for it and other tv actors contributed to it.
Arvind’s wife shared a post on the actor’s Facebook page confirming the untimely death of the actor.
