Popular television actor Leena Acharya passes away on November 21, 2020, in Delhi. The actor suffered from kidney failure and couldn't survive even after getting the organ donated from her mother. Leena was popular for her roles in shows namely Seth Ji, Aap Ke Aa Jane Se, Meri Hanikarak Biwi and several others. Her Seth Ji co-star Worship Khanna shared a few details regarding her death and paid condolences. 

Khanna stated to The Times of India, "The actress was suffering from kidney ailment for the past one and half years. Her mother donated her kidney a while back, but she didn’t survive."

He also shared, "In 2015, I had the opportunity to work with Leena Ji. She played my mother on-screen in Seth Ji. I was playing the role of Ganesh Rao, a Maharashtrian. I would call her Maeri instead of Maa. We shared a great bond. Being a bachelor staying alone in Mumbai, she would get food for me and say ‘Betu khaana kha le’. She was a very fun-loving person."

When asked about her illness, Worship said, "I knew she had health issues in 2015. She was surviving on one kidney and working. She had suffered many health ailments in between and in past four months her health had deteriorated a lot. She was an experienced actor and I will remember her forever."

Apart from television shows, Leena also starred in the movie Hichki starring Rani Mukerji in the leading role. She breathed her last while she was in her 30s.

Rest in peace.
