Dinesh Phadnis, a well-known figure in the film and television industries, has appeared in films including “Mela” and “Sarfarosh.”
New Delhi: Actor Dinesh Phadnis, 57, who was best known for playing Fredericks in the hit TV series “CID,” passed away at midnight at a local hospital due to health issues, according to actor-friend Aditya Srivastava. A few days prior, the actor was admitted to Tunga Hospital in the suburban Mumbai area.
“We know that Dinesh had liver issues and it had an impact on the other organs. He was really unwell for two or three days and could not survive,” Srivastava told PTI. “Dinesh has left us around 12:08 am.”
Dinesh was on ventilator support since December 2. While several media reports suggested that the actor was hospitalised after suffering a heart attack, his co-star Dayanand Shetty later clarified that Phadnis did not have a heart attack.
The entire CID crew was monitoring the situation and is with the family. The last rites of Dinesh will take place today at Daulat Nagar crematorium.
Phadnis, one of the famous faces in the movie and TV industry, also featured in movies such as ‘Sarfarosh’ and ‘Mela.’
The last rites were held in Borivali East this morning.
