He was an amazing person. The whole ‘Tapu Sena’ was very close to him.He was supposed to shoot with us this morning. I was also there but suddenly everyone got numb when we came to know that he is not with us any more. He will be missed a lot.”
Pinku aka Azhar said it was a heartbreaking sight. He told the portal, “I reached the sets and saw everyone extremely sad, it was a heartbreaking sight. On Saturday, we shot together when I told him I am feeling hungry, and he immideatly ordered a sandwich for me. He used to take care of all of us. He also has his own rolls shop in Mira Road. I used to often visit there. And we used to speak for long hours. He was more like a friend to me. Someone might replace his character but replacing him is impossible. Azaad Uncle I am missing you a lot.”

Child actor Kush Shah who plays the role of Goli, Dr. Hathi’s son in the show was extremely sad. He said, “As you all know he was playing my on-screen father. I was extremely close to him. He used to talk to me as a friend. He never made me feel that he was elder to me. He gifted me a small toy which is still with me and I will always keep that with me. Replacing Azaad uncle in our lives will never be possible. In fact, I had most of my scenes with him, so you all can imagine how painful it is to lose him. I will miss him every moment.”
