The country has lost a lot of stars from the entertainment industry this year and the list just doesn’t seem to end. Now we get the news that actor Rasik Dave passed away. He was Ketaki Dave’s husband and left for the humble abode due to kidney failure, at the age of 65.

He was on dialysis for the past two years and the kidneys continued to deteriorate. The past month was very painful and he finally lost the fight, passing away at 8pm tonight. He is survived by wife Ketaki and tow children.

The final rites could take place tomorrow. Ketaki’s mother is also a famous actress, Sarita Joshi and her father Pravin Joshi is a theatre director. She has a younger sister Purbi Joshi who is also part of the entertainment industry.

Rasik was called Rasikbhai fondly and he and his wife ran a Gujarati theatre company together. Rasik started his career with the Gujarati film ‘Putra Vadhu’ in the year 1982. He worked in both the Gujarati and Hindi mediums. Ketaki and Rasik participated in Nach Baliye together in 2006.
