He said, “He was in depression after his mother passed away, he never let that go and was very close to his parents. He would feel alone, and then he would start on a drink and have gutka, then he wouldn’t stop. There was nobody to control him. He was such a wonderful guy and has done a fantastic job in Son of Sardaar 2. Everybody will be clapping and laughing when he speaks, sadly, he won’t be there to enjoy that success.”
