TV actor Siddhaanth of ‘Kkusum’ fame dies of heart attack at 46

Mumbai, Nov 11 (PTI): Popular TV actor Siddhaanth Surryavanshi, known for shows such as “Kkusum”, “Kasautii Zindagii Kay” and “Ziddi Dil Maane Na”, died on Friday after suffering a heart attack at a gym here.
He was 46. The actor, known to be a fitness enthusiast, was taken to the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital at 12.30 pm where he was declared dead, a hospital insider said.
“They tried to revive him. In all probability he suffered a heart attack while he was at the gym. This was told to the hospital by the family,” the insider told PTI. His death is the latest in a series of entertainment personalities, most in their 40s and in the prime of their lives, collapsing suddenly and dying shortly after. Some of them suffered heart attacks while working out in the gym.
The list is long — South star Puneeth Rajkumar, TV actors Sidharth Shukla, Brahma Swaroop Mishra, Deepesh Bhan and superstar Salman Khan’s body double Sagar Pandey. Celebrated comedian Raju Srivastava, 58, suffered a heart attack while working out and passed away after spending over a month on ventilator.
Surryavanshi, who earlier went by the name of Anand Suryavanshi, forayed into television with the 2001 show “Kkusum” and went on to star in daily soaps, including “Mamta”, “Grihasti” and “Waaris”. His last major TV role was this year in Sony SAB’s “Ziddi Dil Maane Na”.
