The year 2020 just can’t seem to give us a break. While we’re still reeling with the tragic death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, the news just broke that renowned TV actor Sameer Singh has died at the age of 44.
The late actor was allegedly found hanging from the kitchen ceiling in his Mumbai home in Malad on Wednesday night.
The Malad Police stated that Sameer had rented the apartment in February this year. His body was spotted by a watchman who was on a round during night duty. Judging by the condition of the body, the Malad police suspect that he died two-three days ago. According to news reports, no suicide note has been recovered from his home.

i remember #SameerSharma so vividly in the #STARONE serial 'Dil Kya Chahta Hai'
Was a very confident force in front of camera.
I hope the necessary measures are taken to ensure there is no foul play regarding the passing.
These are such troubling times. RIP. pic.twitter.com/uwKGT8UwWL

Samir gained popularity after he worked in TV shows like Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki, Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. His most well-known role was of Kuhu’s father in Yeh Rishety Hain Pyaar Ke.
If we’ve learnt anything from Sushant’s death, it’s that we should steer clear from speculation and let the police do their job. Rest in peace, Samir. Your fans will truly miss you.
