Breaking news! Ollywood popular actor Pintu Nanda passed away on Wednesday night while undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Hyderabad. He was 47.
Suffering from liver cirrhosis, the actor was admitted to a Bhubaneswar-based hospital on February 1. On February 7, he was flown to New Delhi and was admitted to the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS). Meanwhile, a family member was supposed to donate liver to him. But that couldn’t be materialised due to mismatching of blood groups and other reasons.
The actor received help from his fans and the Ollywood industry when he needed a huge amount of money for a liver transplant. However, he lost his life before he could go through the liver transplant.
