However, Vyas' family did not receive any support from the Cine and TV Artists Association (CINTAA)

In an earlier interview, his wife Shobha Vyas had revealed that they received no financial support from CINTAA, despite the association setting up a trust for the actors who are suffering from losses.

Even after the industry turning their back on the family, it was Aamir Khan who gave his rock solid support and bared all of Vyas' medical expenses.

Aamir also visited his family in Jaipur while he was shooting for his film PK.

After giving a tough battle to his paralysis, Shrivalabh left for heavenly abode this morning. He is survived by his wife and daughter.
