He said that he couldn’t believe it had happened. “How would I have ever known that this would be our last selfie together mere bhai, I would have hugged you longer before I left!

Talking about it in an interview with ETimes TV he said, “I have known Raj for almost 24 years now. His first meeting was at an ad movie shoot. He was directing the film while I was acting. Since then, we have been close friends. 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. It is a terrible loss that I can’t express in words. It is true that we can’t do anything and must accept it. It is only the memories of our time together that I can recall. 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. My wife, however, went to his final rites on my behalf. She called me via video because I wanted to see Raj one more time. I will meet Raj’s family soon.”
