Popular actor and comedian Junior Mehmood has passed away exactly at 2.15 am at his residence in Mumbai. He was 67. He was suffering from stage 4 stomach cancer and was undergoing treatment. He survived with his wife Lata and two sons. His last rites will be performed in Santacruz burial ground after today's afternoon prayers, confirms his family friend.

Recently, a user on X (formerly Twitter) had shared Mehmood's wish with the fans. He wrote in X Post, ''Junior Mehmood was the first child star of his time. He is undergoing treatment for stage 4 cancer in the hospital. He has expressed his desire to meet Jitendra. He has also worked with him in many films. He wants his childhood friend Sachin Pilgaonkar to also meet him. I request Jitendra and Sachin to fulfill his wish. This could be his last wish.
Soon after the post went viral, Sachin's daughter Shriya said that her father is in constant touch and has also met him.
