In an unfortunate turn of events, YouTuber, Instagrammer and social media sensation Danish Zehen passed away in a tragic car accident. Danish was accompanied by a friend and the duo were returning from a wedding when his car spun out of control and hit a pole on Vashi Highway. While Danish died on impact, his friend survived and was rushed to a Vashi hospital. The incident took place on December 20. While Danish was fairly popular on social media for his videos on men's grooming and was also the digital ambassador of Gillette, his actual claim to fame was his participation in Vikas Gupta's MTV show Ace of Space. Danish Zehen Last Video Before Car Accident?
