Speaking about Deepesh Bhan’s lifestyle, Aasif said, “Lately Deepesh was so much into gymming, running and I had also told him that after 40 one has to slow down a little bit. Don’t over exert yourself. When he started he was a very fit man, in between he put on weight and I asked him to control weight and to keep check on his diet. But he had a point to prove that I do gymming for 3 hours, my wife is not in town. I would always tell him not to exercise for so long. He would tell me that he would skip meals at night.”
Further, Aasif revealed that Deepesh Bhan collapsed while playing cricket and that blood came out of his eyes. “He died of a brain hemorrhage. Because his eyes were bleeding, one of his eyes. When you get up in the morning your blood pressure is low and all of a sudden after working out he started playing cricket. He bowled six balls an entire over and after that when he bent down to pick his cap, he collapsed,” Aasif said.
