Moreover, Anup stated that he is grief-stricken after losing one of his best friends, with whom he had been together for almost 45 years. He recalled:
“The man who helped so many cancer patients, himself died of cancer. That is life. He had pancreatic cancer. I knew this for the last 5 to 6 months, and he stopped talking to me in the last 2-3 months, so I realized that his health was not okay. I feel very sad that this illness took his life. People have lost Pankaj Udhas, but I have lost a very dear friend today. We were friends for 45 years. We used to spend beautiful evenings together. In those days, Pankaj, me, and Talat Aziz were famous. We would work together.”
This is indeed a challenging period for Pankaj Udhas' family. We wish immense strength for them.
