His death is the latest in a series of entertainment personalities, most in their 40s and in the prime of their lives, collapsing suddenly and dying shortly after. Some of them suffered heart attacks while working out in the gym.
The list is long — South star Puneeth Rajkumar, TV actors Sidharth Shukla, Brahma Swaroop Mishra, Deepesh Bhan and superstar Salman Khan’s body double Sagar Pandey. Celebrated comedian Raju Srivastava, 58, suffered a heart attack while working out and passed away after spending over a month on ventilator.
Surryavanshi, who earlier went by the name of Anand Suryavanshi, forayed into television with the 2001 show “Kkusum” and went on to star in daily soaps, including “Mamta”, “Grihasti” and “Waaris”. His last major TV role was this year in Sony SAB’s “Ziddi Dil Maane Na”.
Surryavanshi is survived by his wife, model Alesia Raut, and a daughter from his previous marriage. He got married with Raut in 2017. She also has a son from an earlier marriage.
