Although the cause of death has not been revealed yet, several of Jeetu's co-stars have expressed their condolances on social media.

Sanjay Mishra shared a wholesome video on Instagram with the late actor and wrote, "Jitu bhai had you been here, you would have said something like, ‘Mishra sometimes what happens is that a name stays in the mobile’s contact list and the person goes out of network’. you are out of the world, but will always remain in the network of my mind and heart Om Shanti.”

Jeetu's 'Mirzapur'co-star Rajesh Tailang tweeted, "Can’t believe Jitu Bhai is no more, what an amazing actor, what a wonderful human being, amazing sense of humour, got the opportunity to spend time working with him. It was my good fortune. #JitendraShastri Jitu Bhai Regards”

Rest in peace mere bhai! This material world couldn’t know what to do with a divine soul like you! Heartbroken! ॐ शान्ति ! ??."
