The second wave of COVID 19 continues to prove much deadlier than the first one spreading at uncheckable speed and also claiming lives indiscriminate of age or comorbidities. Actress Abhilasha Patil has passed away leaving the Marathi and Hindi film industries in grief.

It is said that Abhilasha Patil was in Varanasi for a film shoot and returned to Mumbai a few days back when she had a fever and the condition deteriorated drastically. She breathed her last on Wednesday at the age of 47 and is survived by her husband and a son.

Abhilasha Patil is famous for her role as a nurse in the late Sushant Singh Rajput's film 'Chhichhore' and also 'Good Newwz', 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania'. Her Marathi films include 'Prawaas', 'Pipsi' and 'Tujha Majha Arrange Marriage', 'Bayko Deta Ka Bayko' and 'Te Aath Diwas'. She also hosted her own YouTube channel in which many of her videos show how lively a performer she was.

Actor-director Shashank Udarpukar in his tribute wrote “Abhilasha Patil, very hard working and energetic co artist.. We worked together in PRAWAAS. Don’t have words to express. RIP Abhilasha Ji (sic).”
