Talsania reportedly felt unwell while attending the screening of a film starring Rashami Desai.

"I met Tiku sir last night. I was so happy to meet him. Unfortunately, a couple of hours after our meeting, I got to know that he suffered a brain stroke and was taken to hospital. I pray for his speedy recovery," Rashami told ANI.

Talsania, famous for his comedic performances, was a part of films like Andaz Apna Apna, Jodi No. 1, Partner, Ishq, among others.

He has worked with superstars like Shah Rukh, Salman, and Aamir Khan. Talsania's performance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas earned him critical acclaim.

Besides movies, the prolific actor has also worked in TV serials like Uttaran, Ek Se Badh Kar Ek, and the sitcom Sajan Re Phir Jhooth Mat Bolo.
