His co-star Charrul Malik (who plays Rusa) says: "It is very shocking. I shot with him yesterday only and today his call time was late. From the time I joined 'Bhabhiji' I had developed a good bond with him. We even used to make reels together."

Shubhangi Atre, who stays in the same society where Deepesh used to live, was the first one to get the news

Rohitashv Gour while talking to the media, shared, "This is tragic news for the whole Bhabi Ji cast. We can't imagine that a fit person like him can leave us like this. He was just 41 years old. For a person, who gave importance to fitness and regularly did exercises and workouts, played different sports, it is hard to believe that he can suddenly collapse on the ground while playing cricket at 7 am. He had no bad habits like smoking, drinking... nothing. He lived a very simple life."
Producer Binaiferr Kohli also expresses grief: "He was a gem of a person. I am at a loss of words. He will be missed on the set as well as by the audiences. His character Tikamal was quite popular. He was one of the fittest actors I knew. When young actors go like this it is really unfortunate. I extend heartfelt condolences to the family"

Last year, Deepesh had lost his mother. In an emotional note he had written, "Maa tum kyu chali gai. Love u maa tum bhaut yaad aaogi.I'll miss u maa.aakhiri samay mai pitaji leney aaye hongey tumhe (Mom, why have you left. Love you mom. I will miss you. In the last moment, dad must've have to take you)."
