Actor Amit Mistry dies of cardiac arrest at 47

Popular Gujarati and Hindi film actor Amit Mistry, known for starring in films like Shor In The City, 99, Ek Chaalis Ki Last Local and Amazon Prime Video series Bandish Bandits, died on Friday following cardiac arrest, his manager said. The 47-year-old actor was at his residence in Andheri with his mother when he breathed his last around 9.30 AM. "He woke up, had his breakfast and even exercised before he suffered a cardiac arrest. He was absolutely fit and fine. Amit had no underlying medical condition. It's absolutely shocking news," the actor's manager Maharshi Desai told PTI.

Amit Mistry is survived by his mother. The actor was a prominent face in the Gujarati theatre circuit. His work in Hindi films like Kya Kehna, Ek Chalis Ki Last Local and especially his collaborations with filmmaker Raj-DK including 99, Shor In The City and A Gentleman got him wider attention.

Amit Mistry also earned acclaim in last year's hit series Bandish Bandits playing musician Devendra Rathod. His TV credits include popular show Yeh Duniya Hai Rangeen. Amit Mistry's sudden death shocked his colleagues and industry people. "Brother Amit, can't believe this that someone so full of life is no more. Keep spreading love the way you used to wherever you are," actor Rajesh Tailang, his co-star in Bandish Bandits, tweeted.
