Veteran Bollywood actor Vikram Gokhale's health condition is still critical and is on a life support system.
Dr Dhananjay Kelkar — from the Deenanth Mangeshkar Hospital where he is presently undergoing treatment — denied the rumours of the actor's death.
"Not true," he said.
Vikram Gokhale's daughter Neha also confirmed this, and told ANI:
"He is still critical and on life support and has not passed yet. Keep praying for him."
However, the actor is suffering from "multiple organ failure", explained his wife, Vrishali Gokhale.
"Mr Vikram Gokhale is critical since last 24 hours. Doctors are trying their best. He is not responding to the treatment as expected," she said.
"Doctors are making all efforts, but there are several complications. We will update you about further medical updates," Rajesh Damle, a family friend, told reporters.
"I appeal to all the people not to believe or spread any rumours about his health."
In the early hours of Thursday, news of the veteran actor's demise surfaced on social media, following which several Bollywood celebrities like Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Aly Goni, and Jaaved Jaafery, among others, took to Twitter to express condolences.
