Summary: Actor Atul Parchure, who worked in Hindi movies and television series, died at 57.

Atul Parchure, a veteran actor who worked in The Kapil Sharma Show and many movies, died on October 14. His was only 57. A few years ago, he was diagnosed with cancer. His death has shocked everyone. Atul has acted in several Hindi and Marathi movies and television series.

Earlier, he had shared the news of a liver cancer diagnosis and had been battling with it for a while. Yesterday he lost the battle and passed away. May his soul rest in peace.

In an interview, he once said, "I was told I have a tumor about 5 centimeters long in my liver and that it is cancerous."

He also recalled: “My first procedure after the diagnosis went wrong, affecting my pancreas and leading to various complications. The incorrect treatment actually aggravated my condition. I was unable to walk and struggled to speak clearly. In that state, the doctor advised me to wait for a month and a half.

“They warned that undergoing surgery could result in long-term jaundice or severe liver complications, potentially jeopardising my survival. Eventually, I sought a second opinion, switched doctors, and received the appropriate medication and chemotherapy.”

He has worked in some big movies like Navra Majha Navsacha, Partner, Salaam-E-Ishq, All the Best: Fun Begins, Bhuddha Hoga Tera Baap, and Khatta Meetha.

Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor paid his respect: “I never had a chance to work with him, but he always seemed to be such a likeable person no matter what role he played. He was taken by cancer despite fighting the disease for so many years. May his soul rest in peace.”

Actors Renuka Sahane, Sachin, and Supriya Pilgaonkar also mourned the death of their dear friend. Not only the people from the industry, Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde also mourned for the veteran actor.
