35-year-old Kannada actor and cricketer Dhruv Sharma has passed away due to cardiac arrest followed by multiple organ failure. Dhruv suffered from speech and hearing impediments, but that didn’t stop him from having a successful career. According to Indian Express, he made his debut in the Kannada film industry with the 2006 film Snehanjali and the movie secured a place in the Limca Book Records for having a speech and hearing impaired actor in the lead role.
Dhruv also played for the Karnataka Bulldozers team at the Celebrity Cricket League. Many actors took to Twitter to display their sadness over his death.
