Expressing his condolences, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde took to his Instagram and shared a note in Marathi. It read, “Premature exit of a clever actor: Someone who makes the audience laugh out loud and sometimes makes tears in the eyes. The untimely demise of ever introspective class actor Atul Parchure is painful. Atul Parchure has shown his glorious acting career from Balarangbhumi. They made a unique impression in all three fields of drama, film and series. Young Turks be old extracts, relatives or poo. Okay. Whether Deshpande's literal, reading humor, Atul Parchure added deep colours to it with his personal qualities. They also made a great personality in Marathi and Hindi movies. A classy Marathi actor has been lost due to his departure. This damage is not to be filled with. I am a part of the grief of the family members due to this relationship as one of the thousands of fans of Parchure. May God give them the strength to endure this suffering. On behalf of the state government, I pay tribute to them. Om Shanti.”
