Bengali actor Rahul Arunoday Banerjee died in Odisha after a drowning incident while shooting for the Bengali soap Bholebaba Paar Karega.
The producer of the show, Leena Gangopadhyay, expressed her shock over Rahul’s demise and revealed that the crew had tried to stop him from going into the water alone.
According to Anandabazar Patrika, producer Leena is deeply disturbed by Rahul’s unexpected death.
She said, 'How can someone be okay in a situation like this? There was not a scene involving any water body in the screenplay. I am hearing that during that time, many people had told him not to go into the water.'
Rahul was a well-known name in the Bengali entertainment industry, having risen to fame with his role in the 2008 blockbuster Chirodini Tumi Je Amar.
He is survived by his wife, actor Priyanka Sarkar, and their 13-year-old son.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee extended her condolences following the actor’s death.
