Actor Aditya Seal’s father, producer Ravi Seal, succumbed to Coronavirus in Mumbai on Friday, after a brief spell of hospitalisation. A few months ago, Aditya (known for his turn in Student Of The Year 2) had posted a heartfelt note for his dad on his social media account, celebrating Father’s Day. Ravi Seal, who had produced and acted in a Garhwali film years ago, played a significant role in his son’s professional and personal journey. Aditya was looking forward to a couple of his projects and had been completing professional commitments over the last few days, while keeping a tab on his father’s health.

Confirming the news, one of Aditya’s friends said, “Ravi uncle tested COVID-19 positive on September 6, and was admitted to a nursing home on September 8. After that, he was moved to a medical facility, specially meant for COVID-19 treatment, in Andheri. However, he passed away on Friday morning, which has left the entire family devastated. Aditya completed all the formalities, and is home with the rest of his family, looking after everyone.”
