Sadness gnaws into our veins as we write this story.

Death is a sweet slumber, they say, but intense agony for those who lose their loved ones.

Currently, pain is the dominant emotion in the Rawal family.

Noted actor Mukesh Rawal, gained fame for his portrayal in Ramayan, died yesterday under suspicious circumstances. His body was recovered at Kandivali railway station. (Ramayan actor Mukesh Rawal found dead)

Mukesh, not many are aware, was father to actress Arya Vaid Barbhaya. Arya Vaid is currently playing the role of Sanno in Colors’ Shakti.

Eyewitnesses maintain that a teary-eyed Arya was seen rushing out of the set yesterday. All wondered the cause of her despair, until the saddening news reached all ears.

Today, we passed our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved daughter. She said (choking with hurt): “It’s shocking for all of us. We cannot believe he is gone.”

We understand and we empathise!!!

There have been conjectures about Mukesh committing suicide, a development which is under investigation. However, Arya clarified on her part: “It’s not suicide but an accident. The motorman saw him crossing the railway tracks.”

At this trying time, we send strength and positivity to Mukesh’s family members.

RIP, Mukesh!!!
