Aasif Sheikh reveals that Firoz Khan is facing family disputes.
Actor Firoz Khan, known for his roles in TV shows like Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain and Jijaji Chhat Per Hain, reportedly died of a heart attack on Thursday.
Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain actor Aasif Sheikh has reacted to the impersonation of the artist and his co-star Firoz Khan. Firoz, who was known for impersonating Amitabh Bachchan, reportedly died of a heart attack. The actor died in Uttar Pradesh’s Badaun on Thursday (May 23). Aasif has revealed that Firoz was not in a good space “mentally”.
“Firoz was facing some family disputes and he moved outside Mumbai,” Aasif told Pinkvilla. “I also found out that he was not in a good space mentally. He was a great guy who used to make everyone laugh. He was a foodie. As he was great at impersonation, we would ask him to impersonate different actors, and he would act for us. I hope he is in a better place.”
Recalling a recent incident, Aasif said, “Around 4-5 days ago, after I packed, a random man came up to me and asked for a picture, and I clicked a picture with him. He told me he was a friend of Firoz and lived a few blocks from him in Badun. I asked him about Firoz, and he mentioned that Firoz was not doing very well, given the family dispute. I took Firoz’s number from him and decided to give him a call later.”
Aasif continued, “After a few days, I received a call from his number, but I was in a rush, and I missed the call. I thought to myself that I would call him after packing. We couldn’t talk. I couldn’t call him, and that’s the regret and guilt I’m facing right now. I wish I had called him and talked to him. Maybe he needs some help, emotionally or financially. I could have helped him.”
Aasif further revealed that when she spoke to the director of Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain about Firoz, she told him that the late actor had quit acting and “would not be returning to the sets.”
This is the second untimely death of an actor from the popular sitcom Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain. Before this, Deepesh Bahn, who played Malkhan’s character in the show, died due to a brain haemorrhage. Speaking about the same, Aasif Sheikh said, “This is shocking and upsetting for everyone on the sets of our show. First, we lost Deepesh and now Firoz. We can only hope and pray that their departed souls find peace.”
