Talking about it in an interview with ETimes TV he said, “I have known Raj for almost 24 years now. The first time I met him was during an ad film shoot, where I was acting and he was directing it. We have been friends ever since. He was like a family member, he was a brother to me.”
He further added, “I cannot come to terms with the fact that he is no more. I cannot express in words how I feel, what a great loss this is. Yes, we cannot do anything about it and have to accept it. All I can think about is the time I spent with him. I remember the last time we met…I shot with him for something two to three weeks back and we had a great time on the sets. I didn’t know that it would be the last time I would meet Raj.”
He concluded by saying, “At first I decided to go meet his family But I couldn’t go because I’m shooting for this show and if I left, there would be many others who would get stuck. But on my behalf, my wife went there and attended his last rites. She video called me because I wanted to see him one last time. I will meet Raj’s family soon.”
