Television actress Chhavi Mittal on November 14 announced the news of her father’s demise. Taking to her social media account, Chhavi penned an emotional note for her father.  

She wrote, “I always introduced him proudly as a “genius.” A scientist who quit his job to set up a business of his own, inventing several electronic things in the process, setting up a base for the 3 of us kids. To the world he was a gold medallist, an industrialist... but to me he was the man who always had all the answers and who never ever said no to me. Whether it was me deciding what my career stream was going to be, or my decision to move to Mumbai, or my choice of groom... he always fully supported me. I get my intelligence, my characteristics and even my features from him.”
