When contacted the producer Asit Kumar Modi, to know about the character of Dr. Haathi he said, “We will have to replace Dr Haathi, if you want to know. It’s the actor who has passed away, not the character.” Kavi Kumar suffered a cardiac arrest and passed away on July 9, 2018.

The actor was cremated at Mira Road Crematorium in Mumbai. The funeral ceremony was attended by most of his colleagues from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. Kavi Kumar had bagged the role of Dr.Hansraj Haathi when he was brought in place of Nimal Soni on the show.
