He was also seen in films such as Ashiqui, Meri Awaaz Hi Pehchaan Hai, Tadap, Badrinath Ki Dulhania, Satyameva Jayate among others.
Now, in an exclusive conversation with TellyChakkar, producer Sandiip Sikcand shared how the news of the actor’s demise has come as a total shock to him and that he is deeply affected.
He said, “I am shocked and heartbroken on hearing the news! Someone posted the news on one of my WhatsApp groups early in the morning and since then I have just been in shock. I have worked closely with Ritu in Kahani Ghar Ghar Kii. He was one of the only actors who gave me a warm welcome on the show. To say that he was a brilliant actor is an obvious thing, but more than an actor he was one of the finest human beings that I know. I am really saddened by the news. May his soul rest in peace and may his wife and kids get the strength to deal with this loss.”
We send our heartfelt condolences to Rituraj’s family as they mourn the loss of their loved one. (Also Read: Wow! From Dheeraj Dhoopar, to Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya, stars shine bright at Sandiip Sikcand’s grand Diwali bash)
