We bonded so well on the sets. We used to share food and stories about his biking, his adventurous jaunts. He was such a talented person, and he looked so happy and content in his life. Arjun called me this morning to inform and we both went silent for a minute because we couldn’t believe it. How? Why? It is very shocking. I don’t know what was going through his mind.

He added, "I don’t know, he never looked depressed to us. He looked content with whatever he was doing. Maybe he wasn’t doing too much on TV but he was busy with many other things, he was doing something for Netflix and for Amazon. So he was pretty busy. He was very happy and he used to always talk about his son. Arjun also used to talk about Ayaan and he used to talk about Kiaan. He used to share naughty stories about Kiaan. I am still in denial and don’t know what triggered this. Only God knows. I don’t think the closest of his friends have any clue about this. I am yet to speak to Apurva Agnihotri because they used to go together for all the trips. I am trying to figure out the last rite details."
