Sooraj Barjatya’s father and producer, Rajkumar Barjatya, passed away on Thursday morning at Mumbai’s Sir H.N. Reliance Hospital at Girgaum. It is a sad day for the industry as we’ve lost a brilliant producer who had some blockbusters under his banner. Movies like Hum Aapke Hain Koun, Hum Saath Saath Hain, Vivah, and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo among the others.

Taran Adarsh shared the news on Twitter, “Shocked and saddened to learn of Rajkumar Barjatya ji’s demise... Raj Babu - as he was affectionately called - was an extremely soft-spoken person... Heartfelt condolences to Sooraj, the Barjatya family, and #Rajshri parivaar.”
