Exclusive – Nehha Pendse on co-star Deepesh Bhan’s death: I am numb, don’t know how to react; more worried for his wife and kid – Times of India

The sudden demise of Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai actor Deepesh Bhan has left his friends and co-stars shocked. Actress Nehha Pendse, who worked with the late actor in Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai and May I Come In Madam, is totally numb after hearing the news and told ETimes TV that she is travelling to the actor’s home for the funeral.

“I was in Pune but now I am heading towards Mumbai now and I am hoping to reach for his funeral. I had a long journey with Deepesh because we were together in May I Come In Madam and Bhabhi Ji Ghar Hai both. He was the fittest guy around so honestly, I don’t know what went wrong. He was a fitness enthusiast and he would talk about nutrition, he lost his mother in November. I am very numb right now and don’t know how to react to this,” said the actress.

Nehha further shared that Deepesh’s funeral will take place today in Mumbai, “Life is just too short. At the end of the day, you just come down to one thing and that is- life is too short. I am in touch with the cast of Bhabhi Ji and they are giving me updates on what time the funeral is going to happen. I am just trying my best to reach Thane. It is going to happen today. They are just waiting for certain relatives to land from Delhi. They are going to land by 2:30 PM. Once they come, they are going to start the rituals for the funeral.”

The actress, who played Angoori Bhabhi in BJGPH for a brief period, recalled her memories with Deepesh and shared, “I have very lovely memories with Deepesh because he was one actor who would go to everyone’s room to wish and ask how their day was. I remember having the silliest conversation with him. He was a man with whom you could have a light laugh. He was a very positive person. I remember talking to him when he lost his mother and she was going through a serious phase and a lot of other things. He was a very positive person. That’s the reason I am very numb because if people like these are going there is no hope for other people. I will always remember him as a kind, courteous man.”

She is worried about Deepesh’s wife and 18-months-old son, “Honestly, now I am more worried for his wife and kid. The baby is too young and he got married very late. I remember knowing him since he was an unmarried man and I would tease him. It is really unfortunate what has happened,” concluded Nehha.
