The Karjat Police rushed to his studio for investigations and the cause of the suicide was not clear.
The end came just three days before Desai's 58th birthday on Sunday (August 6), even as top Bollywood personalities mourned his sudden demise.
Police were attempting to verify if he has left behind any suicide note at the studio or any other location.
