New Delhi: Weeks after the death of comedian Raju Srivastava, another stand-up comic has passed away. Parag Kansara of 'The Great Indian Laughter Challenge' fame died on Wednesday. He was 51. He suffered a heart attack.   

Sunil Pal took to Instagram and mourned the death of Parag Kansara. He remembered the time he had spent with him on The Great Indian Laughter Challenge.  

 
Sunil said: "Hello friends, another shocking and bad news has come out from the world of comedy. Parag Kansara ji our 'Laughter Challenge' co-contestant is no more in this world. Parag, who used to do reverse-thinking comedy and make us laugh, is no more." 

Sunil shared his memories with Parag and said, “My memories with Parag are fresh. He considered me as young brother, I did films with him Bombay to Goa, Bhawnao ko Samjho. We did hundreds of TV shows and thousands live shows together. He was a great artist – Gujarati was his mother tongue and he lived in Vadodara. He was a part time magician, did odd jobs and often took all responsibilities of kids for functions. He had worked in circus as well. Please pray for his soul and his family. It is tough to believe he is no more. Pray to God to save comedians, not just those who are professional comedians but everyone who makes others laugh.” 
 
He expressed his grief about the great losses in the comedy world in the past few days and said: "I don't know why the people who make everyone laugh and their families are going through this. One by one, the pillars of comedy are moving away from us." 
 
Sunil also recalled the other comedians, who lost their lives recently including Raju Srivastava, Deepesh Bhan, Ashok Sundrani, and Anant Shrimani. “We just lost Raju Srivastava and we are yet to come to terms with his death. We still remember his jokes and laugh. But the truth is that he is not with us physically. Prior to his death, we lost Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain actor Deepesh Bhan at a very young age. Four or five days ago my dear friend Jeetu Gupta (Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain actor) lost his son, his house faced the tragedy. Prior to that comic poet Ashok Sidhwani, Anant Srimauli also died. The world of comedy is losing many gems. God, do you have a dearth of comedians in your court that you are snatching away our comedy kings and magicians?” he said. 

He talked about these comedians and how they make everyone laugh and make them forget their pain and agony.
