In a deeply saddening turn of events, rising actor Rohit Basfore—who had been working on the highly anticipated third season of The Family Man—was discovered dead near a remote waterfall on the outskirts of Guwahati. The news has sent shockwaves through both the entertainment industry and the actor’s fanbase, many of whom had only recently begun to follow his career.
Local authorities confirmed the discovery late yesterday, stating that Basfore’s body was found near a scenic but rugged area frequented by trekkers and nature lovers. The circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear at this stage, and officials have launched an investigation to determine what led to the tragedy.
Initial reports suggest there were no immediate signs of foul play, though authorities are not ruling out any possibilities. The area where the body was found is known for its challenging terrain, which has led some to speculate whether the actor may have slipped or suffered a sudden medical emergency. An autopsy is currently underway, and results are expected to shed more light on the cause of death in the coming days.
Rohit Basfore was an emerging talent in the Indian television and web series landscape. Though he had previously worked in regional cinema and theatre, his role in The Family Man 3 was widely seen as his breakout opportunity—a chance to reach a broader audience and establish himself on the national stage. His sudden death has therefore left many stunned and heartbroken, not only because of the loss of a young life, but also for the promising future that was abruptly cut short.
Tributes began pouring in soon after the news broke. Co-stars, directors, and fans took to social media to express their grief and remember the actor for his warm personality, work ethic, and dedication to his craft. “Rohit was a joy to work with—focused, humble, and full of life,” one crew member from The Family Man 3 shared. “None of us can believe he’s gone.”
Basfore’s family, who reside in Assam, are said to be devastated by the news. They are currently working with local authorities to make arrangements for his final rites. Meanwhile, the production of The Family Man 3 is reportedly on hold as the cast and crew process the loss.
As fans and fellow artists continue to mourn, one thing is clear: Rohit Basfore’s passing is not only a personal tragedy but a loss to the creative community. His work, though brief, touched many—and his potential will be remembered with both admiration and sorrow.
