He was so much fun on the sets, joking, laughing, mastikhor, so basically, a very joyful person to be around."

She added, "I have worked with him a lot so I can say that I had a great time. Well, life is such that after the work is done, people part ways and we go our own way. But I remember when he was hospitalised about two years back he had a kidney ailment which was a prolonged one. He had some sickness which was really tough. I remember going to the hospital and meeting with him, sitting with him there and chatting. I was quite shocked to know about his demise. So I am really taken aback and I am feeling really sad and disheartened today. May his soul rest in peace."

The actor battled kidney-related issues and was undergoing dialysis. He is survived by his sister, who stays in Kolkata.
