There are also rumours on social media of the actor battling depression. In response, Samay Shah, who portrayed his on-screen son in the show, has denied these rumours.
“I still cannot believe that people are saying he was depressed. He is not that kind of a person, but then you cannot predict how human consciousness works sometimes. Whenever we spoke, he was very kind and sweet, he was keeping alright, and he would continuously check on me. I don’t think he was in depression. However, we never had the kind of conversations he would have with his parents or friends. I was like a son to him.”
He also revealed that Singh had a “lot of things planned” personally as well as professionally and added he was working on a Punjabi film.
Shah also told the daily on his last phone call with Gurucharan Singh which was about 4-5 months back. In a one-hour conversation between them, Shah revealed that Singh motivated him.
“I spoke with him 4 to 5 months back over the phone. The conversation went on for an hour or more and he kept motivating me, we spoke about running with dreams. I was missing him a lot, especially as we were not working together anymore and we were reminiscing,” he told Indianexpress.com. Earlier Singh’s father also said that his son wasn’t in a state of mental distress, however, couldn’t explain the reason for his disappearance.
