It is being said that the actor's father was unwell since last night and passed away this morning, though Raqesh is yet to reveal the reason. Raqesh was in the news last year for his separation from wife Ridhi Dogra in February 2019. The couple separated amicably and continue to remain good friends and also occasionally hang out with their common friends' circle. Our deepest condolences to the Bapat family!
