On Thursday, the director duo took to Instagram to share a photo of Ajit from the show and expressed their sadness over the actor’s death. “In the past year, many of us have experienced the loss of a loved one. For Season 2, we worked with Asif Basra. He was a genius! And the fact that he committed suicide has left us heartbroken! Wherever you are, may your soul find peace and comfort… Basra, Asif!” go to their page and read the message.

The Family Man season two, starring Manoj Bajpayee, was set to premiere earlier this year. In the new season, Manoj’s Srikant Tiwari will face a new, strong, and brutal foe named Raaji, played by Samantha Akkineni, who is making her digital debut on the show.
