"After we reached my mother's house in Nashik, he had vomiting and loose motions. He didn't want to go to the hospital so we asked the doctor to come home. When I went to wake him up at around 6 am in the morning (on Sunday), he was no more. The doctor there told us he passed away last night in his sleep due to cardiac arrest," she told PTI.

His mortal remains have been sent for postmortem to Mumbai's Cooper Hospital, said Jhanvi. The last rites will be held in Mumbai on Monday. Vikas is survived by his wife and their twin sons.

Besides being a familiar face on television, Vikas was part of the 2001 superhit film Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, in which he played Robbie, a friend of Poo (Kareena Kapoor).
