Bikramjeet’s close friend Himanshu Dadbhawala shared this sad news. “He was admitted to hospital ten days ago at Seven Hills, he was later shifted to ICU as his condition worsened. He passed away today morning at around 5 am," he said.

After retiring from the Indian Army, Kanwarpal made his acting debut in early 2000. His other movie credits include Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Aarakshan and The Ghazi Attack.

On television, some of his noteworthy performances were in Anil Kapoor-starrer 24, Adaalat, Diya Aur Baati Hum and Yeh Hai Chahatein.

He was last seen in Disney Plus Hotstar web series 'Special Ops'.

Soon after the news of the actor's demise, several cine personalities took to Twitter to pay tributes to the honest actor. Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh said Kanwarpal's sudden death has left him heartbroken. "Extremely sad news . I've known Major Bikramjeet for so many years. He and I have worked on so many films together. The last being Bypass Road. Such a fantastic, encouraging and energetic human being he was and will always be remembered as. #RIP My dear friend will miss you," he wrote.

Music composer-singer Vishal Dadlani called him a man of dignity. "A man who lent dignity to everything he did, #BikramjeetKanwarpal carried the Fauji stamp. Jai Hind, Sir," he said.
