Actor Sudhanshu Pandey is lost for words after the death of his friend and co-actor Nitesh Pandey. He says that the late actor, who died due to cardiac arrest on May 23, was really excited about his work, and was ready to explore this new phase of his career.

“The news has come as a shock to me. It is one of those moments that completely takes you away, and makes one thing that someone who used to be with us a while back, used to sit and talk about work on TV and OTT, now is not with us,” says Sudhanshu, “he was happy with the way work was progressing for him and was excited about traveling from here to there for different things.”

When asked what Nitesh is up to and what has got him most excited about the upcoming work, Sudhanshu told us, “He was doing some 3-4 web series, and also had an OTT film in his kitty. He was very happy that finally good things were happening. He was really excited about the work he was doing now.

it was while working on the tv show Anupama That the 48-year-old struck up a bond with Nitesh, especially since they too came from the same place.

“Whenever he was on set, he used to sit in my room and chat. Recently when we talked about how OTT as a medium is working in their favour, and what TV has done for them. He said he would drop out and find other work as it was finally lifting for him. When he used to come to shoot TV shows, we used to chill, it was one Pandey meeting another Pandey. We also came from Uttarakhand, so we had a lot in common. So, we used to exchange stories and laugh. Now all those stories are over, ”recalls the actor.

Considering that Nitesh passed away at the age of 51 due to cardiac arrest, Sudhanshu feels that everyone should wake up to not neglect their health.

“He was on the heavier side, and definitely not someone who used to work out or exercise. There are actually a lot of people who are working out but not really taking care of their health and body In today’s time all kinds of food and kind of things we are taking in our body, if we are not alert about the condition of our body then things become very risky. We should not only take care of ourselves but also One should also be responsible for his family.
