Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty's father, Surendra Shetty passed away on 11th October (Wednesday ) due to heart attack at Mumbai's Kokilaben Hospital.
“Shilpa’s father passed away today at around 9 a.m. at his Versova residence. He had a cardiac arrest,” the source told media.
Initial reports suggest that Surendra Shetty suffered a cardiac arrest while he was asleep, after which he was rushed to the hospital. Doctors' efforts to resuscitate him failed and he was declared dead, as per a Pinkvilla report.
The funeral will take place tomorrow morning in Mumbai.
Surendra Shetty is now survived by wife Sunanda and daughters Shilpa and Shamita Shetty. Both Shilpa and sister Shamita were very close to their dad, Surendra.
Few months ago, Surendra was in news when he was duped by a self-styled godman to the tune of a few crores. Later, the fraud baba was arrested when the family filed a police complaint.
Mr Surendra had also produced one of Shilpa's films, an Indo-Chinese drama - The Desire, which never released.
He was also seen on the TV show “Jhalak Reloaded” last year when he came on the set with wife Sunanda and Shilpa to cheer up Shamita, who was one of the participants.
We pray that his soul rests in peace and his family gets the courage to bear the loss.
