The actor reportedly suffered a cardiac arrest while sleeping at his residence in Mumbai. His body has been sent to Cooper Hospital for a post-mortem examination.
Sethi, who had earned a reputation for his roles in daily soaps and a few Bollywood films, had faced several health issues in recent years. In 2021, he underwent leg surgery and was determined to recover fully, frequently sharing fitness and motivational posts on his social media accounts.
Despite his efforts to regain normalcy, industry insiders revealed that the actor had been battling depression and financial difficulties in his later years.
In recent times, Sethi had ventured into film production, launching his own company, CK Pictures. However, his health and personal challenges appeared to overshadow his professional pursuits.
