Odia Film Industry and People of Odisha Mourn the Loss of Pintu Nanda
The Odia film industry and the people of Odisha are deeply saddened by the passing of Ollywood actor Pintu Nanda. After a prolonged battle with liver cirrhosis, Pintu Nanda passed away on Wednesday night while undergoing treatment at a hospital in Hyderabad. He was 47 years old.
Pintu Nanda had been diagnosed with chronic liver failure and was advised to undergo a cadaver liver transplant. Unfortunately, he could not receive a liver in time for the procedure.
He was initially undergoing treatment at a private hospital in New Delhi, but due to the need for advanced care, he was shifted to Hyderabad last week. He had been admitted to Yashoda Hospital in Hyderabad after failing to find a suitable donor at the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS) in New Delhi.
A family member had considered donating their liver to Pintu, but due to blood group incompatibility and other complications, the transplant could not proceed. Before a donor could be arranged, Pintu Nanda breathed his last on Wednesday night, around 11:25 PM, on 2nd March 2023.
