Sandip Sikand Mourns the Loss of Actor Rituraj Singh

Actor Sandip Sikand told indianexpress.com, “I am shocked & heart broken on hearing the news! Someone posted the news on one of my WhatsApp groups early in the morning and since I have just been in shock. I have worked closely with Rhitu in Kahani Ghar Ghar Kii, he was one of the only actors who gave me a warm welcome on the show. To say that he was a brilliant actor is an obvious thing, but more than an actor he was one of the finest human beings that I know. I am really saddened by the news. May his soul rest in peace and may his wife and kids get the strength to deal with this loss.”
