Ranjit Chowdhry, best known for playing Vikram on the sitcom “The Office,” has died at 64.
Chowdhry's character on “The Office” was a telemarketer whom Steve Carrell’s character, Michael Scott, recruited as part of his “dream team” when he was trying to form his own paper company.
"For all those who knew Ranjit, the funeral will be held tomorrow and a gathering to celebrate his life and share stories on May 5th. With love, Raell,” the actor's half-sister wrote on Instagram this week.
The actor lived in New York City but had gone back to his native India and was unable to return amid the coronavirus.
