Actor Vikas Sethi Dies of Cardiac Arrest Struggled with Depression and Financial Issues

As reported by Indian media outlets, actor Vikas Sethi, best known for starring in several TV serials, including ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’, ‘Kasautii Zindagi Kay’ and ‘Kahiin To Hoga’, and shared the screen with Bollywood A-lister Kareena Kapoor Khan in ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’, suffered a cardiac arrest yesterday, and died in his sleep.

His body was later taken to Cooper Hospital in Mumbai for post-mortem.

According to industry sources, Sethi was going through depression and faced financial troubles in the recent past. The actor had ventured into production, launching his banner, CK Pictures.

Speaking to a local publication, his wife Jhanvi revealed he fell sick when they attended a family event a day before, but did not want to visit the hospital. “After we reached my mother’s house in Nashik, he had vomiting and loose motions. He didn’t want to go to the hospital so we asked the doctor to come home. When I went to wake him up at around 6 in the morning (on Sunday), he was no more. The doctor there told us he passed away last night in his sleep due to cardiac arrest,” she said.
