‘Bhabi Ji Ghar Pe Hai’ Famed Actor Firoz Khan Passed Way Due To ‘Heart Attack’!!

TV actor Firoz Khan, best known for playing Amitabh Bachchan in the popular series Bhabi Ji Ghar Pe Hai, passed away from a heart attack. The actor reportedly suffered a heart attack on Thursday morning in Badaun, Uttar Pradesh.

Firoz had spent a considerable amount of time participating in various activities in Badaun. He uploaded a video of himself recreating Big B‘s iconic scene from the movie Coolie just a day before he passed away.

Mourning his death, Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai actor Saumya Tandon said, “Absolutely shocked and deeply saddened. He was too young to leave. I worked briefly with him, but I remember him as quiet, polite, and respectful on sets. He was so talented. I can’t ever forget the episode where he became Amitabh Bachchan. It was such a hilarious episode, and he was so funny. We were laughing as we were filming the scene. And him as Dhobi was so special. As I talk, all the scenes done with him are flashing in front of my eyes. Uff, this is so sad. I wish this was all a rumour.”

Charrul Malik, another Bhabi Ji Ghar Pe Hai actor, paid homage to him and fondly recalled their time together. She is very saddened by the news of his demise. She remembers him as a ‘very gentle and down-to-earth person’. “His comic timing was amazing. He used to be very happy and cheerful. He once asked to make a reel together, but we never got a chance to do that”, she added.

Binaiferr Kohli, the producer of Bhabi Ji Ghar Pe Hai, also remembered Firoz’s warmth and sensitivity.

She recalled, “He was the nicest, sweetest person on the set. He was very pure and sweet and would get scared quickly that somebody was going to scold him. After Covid, he went into a shell and needed help. I asked him to take up therapy. He had lost his mojo for acting. He was very sceptical about performing. But I asked him to come on the set and be with everyone. Then his mother got seriously ill and passed away. Just a couple of months back, his mother expired, and he went further into depression.”

Khan starred in a number of TV series in addition to Bhabi Ji Ghar Pe Hai, such as Jija Ji Chhat Par Hai, Saheb Bibi Aur Boss, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, and Shaktimaan. He was also featured in Adnan Sami’s music video for ‘Thodi Si Tu Lift Kara De’.
