One small act of kindness can very well change someone's life. And TV actor Saumya Tandon has proved it to be true.

Saumya Tandon to raise funds for her deceased Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai co-star Deepesh Bhan's family to pay back a hefty home loan of 50 lakhs. 

Recently, the actor took to her Instagram handle and launched a crowdfunding campaign to help late actor Deepesh Bhan’s family repay the loan. Dressed in simple white kurta, Saumya requested her followers to pay whatever they can and help the late actor's family to keep the house. 

During her emotional appeal, she also recalled how Bhan was a "talkative person" and would talk about "home" on set. "Now, we can repay him by giving back his house to his son," she said in conclusion. 

Now, within 20 days of starting that fundraiser, Deepesh Bhan's wife took to social media to inform everyone that the family's home loan 50 lakh has been paid off. She thanked Saumya Tandon for raising funds through her fundraiser.

In the video, which was shared through the deceased actor's official Instagram account, she said that the reason behind her sharing the video was to thank Tandon in front of everyone. "When suddenly my husband passed away, I had no other way to repay the loan as I was not financially strong and had no backing. During that time, Saumya Tandon from BJGPH came to my life and she made my account in Ketto and started a fundraiser. She helped me a lot and within one month, we have managed to repay the loan. My motive to make this video is to thank Saumya ji in front of everyone. I would also like to thank Benaifer Kohli ma'am, the producer of the show has always supported and she still continues to do. I want to thank both of them from the moment of my heart," said Mrs. Bhan.

TV actor Deepesh Bhan died on July 23 of this year while playing cricket. In the hit series, Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai, he played the role of Malkhan.

According to reports that quoted actor Aasif Sheikh as saying that Deepesh went to the gym at around seven in the morning, before going to play cricket in his apartment complex in Mumbai's Dahisar area where he collapsed. 

Several media outlets have claimed that the actor had suffered a brain haemorrhage. Deepesh Bhan is survived by his wife and a son who is only a little over one-year-old. 

Upon hearing Deepesh Bhan's sudden passing, Saumya had earlier shared an emotional post. "... Can’t hear you laugh, or sing , and react to your PJs. You were a heart of gold. Miss you," Saumya captioned a picture of them together.
