It was Shah Rukh Khan’s body double Prashant Walde, who first informed about Sagar’s death.
“Sagar was working in the gym when he suddenly collapsed. He was immediately taken to Hindu Hruday Samrat Balasaheb Thackeray Trauma Care Municipal Hospital at Jogeshwari East, Mumbai. That’s where he was declared dead.”
According to Walde, Sagar was perfectly fit and healthy. “He was too young to pass away. His age must have been around 45-50 years.”
