MUMBAI: Actor Samir Sharma’s death by suicide has left his friends in the industry, devastated. Samir Soni, who was a very close friend of his, was in a state of shock when we contacted him on Thursday. Though yet to come to terms with the news, he spoke to BT, yesterday.

Soni said, “He was very creative and intelligent, and over the years, we have had some interesting conversations. He was passionate about music and wouldn’t sleep for days if he was composing something. He also wrote poetry, and he used to share his music and poems with me.”

They had first met on the sets of the TV show, 'Dil Kya Chahta Hai', more than a decade ago. Soni recalled, “Though we became friends almost instantly, we lost touch over the years. It’s only in 2019 that we reconnected again. Like I said, he was a crazy genius and he had his highs and lows. As a friend, I have always supported him, whenever he needed me. He was a great guy and a gentleman in the true sense.”

The two had met last week. Narrating an incident, Soni said, “In June, he had borrowed my car to go to Pune. Unfortunately, he met with an accident on the way, but did not inform me. A few days later, the police informed me that they had found my car by the side of the road. However, when I asked Samir about it, he denied meeting with an accident. I didn’t prod him further. Almost a month passed and I started feeling that all was not well with him. So, last week, I visited him at his Malad residence. That’s when he apologised for the accident, and I told him that it was okay. Since he was not feeling well that day, I left within a few minutes. And then, a few days later, I hear that he has hanged himself in his flat! I kept crying all day after I heard the news. I still can’t believe that he has gone from our lives. I just wish he had reached out to someone if he was going through personal issues.”
