Actress Neetu Kapoor posted a throwback picture of the Karz actor and wrote, “As a family we have a deep sense of loss...when we sit together and look back at the past few months what we also feel is immense gratitude - gratitude towards the doctors at HN reliance hospital! The whole team of doctors, brothers and nurses headed by Dr Tarang Gianchandani treated my husband like he was their own - they advised us like we were their own...and for all that and more I thank them from the bottom of my heart..@rfhospital”
