Jalaj Dhir, the 18-year-old son of director Ashwni Dhir, died on November 23, 2024 in a car accident on the Western Expressway in Vileparle, Mumbai. According to reports, Jalaj had invited friends to his home in Goregaon to play video games. Later he and his three friends Sahil Mendha (18), Sarth Kaushik (18) and Jayden Jimmy (18) went out for a drive. Then they stopped at a restaurant. The accident happened while returning from there.
According to a report by 'Indian Express', Jalaj's friend Sahil Mendha was driving the car and it has been alleged that he was under the influence of alcohol.
