Milap Zaveri's first unverified tweet about Nishikant Kamat's death read, "Heartbreaking news that Nishikant Kamat passed away. He judged My 1st play ever in Jaihind College where he awarded me best actor and writer. He was gonna direct “Sanak” written by @shiekhspear and me, starring @juniorbachchan Sadly the film didn’t happen. Will miss him."

While, we are not sure what made Milap Zaveri quit Twitter, but maybe Nishikant's death mayhem on the micro-blogging site can be one of the reasons. Nishikant died at the age of 50 and was getting treated for chronic liver disease at the Asian Institute of Gastroenterology (AIG) Hospital in Gachchibowli, Hyderabad. May his soul RIP. Stay tuned!
