Thakur's mother discovered him unresponsive when her morning alarm went off. The actor's family has traveled to Haridwar for his last rites and has requested privacy during this time. Rupesh Sonar posted a tribute on social media remembering Thakur as a positive and happy person, stating he was yet to come to terms with the loss. Thakur, 33, had been away from the industry for a while but remained in touch with friends. The casting director met Thakur 10 days before his death and was trying to reach him when the family informed him of his passing.
