Eshan Surana, son of Pankaj and Chanda Surana, grandson of Kamal Surana (of the Surana family which owns Raj Mandir Cinema, Jaipur), and nephew of filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya (Chanda is Sooraj’s sister), passed away on 19th March at his residence in Bombay. He was in his late twenties and unmarried.
A very bright boy and a school topper, Eshan had assisted in the production of Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha for some months. Later, he trained to become an actor and was looking forward to an exciting acting career.
A prayer meeting was held this evening (21st March) at Eshan’s paternal uncle’s residence, Imperial Towers, at Tardeo in Bombay. A number of friends, well-wishers and family members came to offer condolences to the distraught family.
Incidentally, there was another bereavement in the Surana family earlier last week when Vimalchand Surana’s wife passed away in Jaipur.
