Mumbai, India – Television actor Arjun Bijlani is mourning the loss of his father-in-law, Rakesh Chandra Swami, who passed away on Wednesday at the age of 73. Swami was the father of Bijlani’s wife, Neha Swami.
According to sources close to the family, Swami suffered a sudden stroke while preparing for dinner and was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where he was placed on a ventilator. Despite medical efforts, he succumbed to the illness.
