Amit Purohith passes away

Amit portrayed Aditi Rao Hydari’s ex-boyfriend in the film with Sudheer Babu as the lead.

Actor Amit Purohith, who was recently seen in the Telugu film Sammohanam, directed by Indraganti Mohan Krishna, passed away on Tuesday night. But sadly, nobody seems to know what was the cause of the death.

Amit portrayed Aditi Rao Hydari’s ex-boyfriend in the film with Sudheer Babu as the lead. He maintained a low-profile during the promotions of the film and though he played a small role, audiences were impressed by his acting. Indraganti was eager to cast Amit for his next too, but sadly, he was shocked after hearing the news. Celebs took to Twitter to pay their last respects. “I am unable to believe it. Amit, one of the gentlest, well- behaved and hugely talented actors I have worked with. And such a generous man!!! Amith, I will miss you, man. I was thinking of casting you again soon. May you Rest In Peace, Brother (sic),” said Indraganti. Sudheer also expressed shocked after hearing the sad news. “Saddened by the death news of Amit Purohit. He played Amit Malhotra (Sameera’s Ex Boyfriend) in Sammohanam. Very friendly guy & always gave 100 % for every shot. Another young and good actor left us too early. May his soul find peace (sic),” tweeted Sudheer.

“Rest in peace Amit Purohit, Prayers and healing to the family... a kind gentle hardworking person gone to soon. Thank you for your invaluable presence in #sammohanam #GoneTooSoon (sic),” tweeted Aditi Rao Hydari.
