Fans, friends, and colleagues in the industry sent Shailesh a deluge of sympathies after the actor’s emotional post went viral. For the past 1.5 months, Shailesh Lodha’s father had been suffering from a protracted illness, and his condition had been steadily declining.

His father’s tradition of assisting others will continue thanks to the successful completion of the eye donation.
