But I would listen from my co-stars that he was very professional, would come on time, and do his work with perfection. He was very passionate about his work.”
She further said, “His scenes in Tenali were really nice, we would discuss all these. It’s really sad to hear this news. It’s very shocking. It took me a while to realise that he is the one who was with us in Tenali Rama. It is really shocking. May his soul rest in peace. I just hope all the negativity that is around, everything should get alright soon.”
