Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur shared, “Shocked to hear of the passing away of Pradeep Guha. Friend, Pioneer, Game Changer, Mentor to so many. He transformed the media landscape in India. In grief and with love…you’ll be missed Pradeep #pradeepguha”
Guha, known fondly as PG, was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer (stage 4) three weeks ago and was being treated by some of the top specialists in Mumbai.
Unfortunately, his condition deteriorated rapidly due to the aggressive nature of the cancer. He was put on ventilator support on Thursday morning at Kokilaben Ambani Hospital.
He was also the CEO of Zee Entertainment Enterprises from 2005 to 2008. He is survived by his wife Papia and son Sanket.
