Earlier, his industry friends, including Karanveer Mehra, Simple Kaul, Aneri Vajani and Sudanshu Pandey, among others, made appeals on social media to help raise funds for his expensive treatment.
Earlier in 2022, Vibhu announced that he was diagnosed with cancer. He was heard saying, "I am in the hospital. I thought I'd let you know what's going on here. I was sick for the last few days and about two weeks back they found a stage 4 cancer in me which is in an advanced state, which is a rare type and kind of aggressive. I never expected that. In a day, life changed, totally upside down. Nevertheless, we are trying to be strong and we are going ahead with it."
His last rites will be performed at Jogeshwari crematorium today (June 3) at 1 pm.
