Asif Basra who committed suicide yesterday, was found hanging in his Himachal Pradesh home. Talking to ETimes this evening, Emraan said, “I am extremely shocked. We have lost so many actors this year. Add this to the several miseries 2020 has brought. What a grief-stricken year!”
Emraan remembers Asif as a very positive person who was very easy to go along with, when they worked together in ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai‘ “I had kept in touch with Asif over text messages after the film and then we bumped into each other a couple of times. I followed his work. He was a very good actor. I loved him in ‘Hichki’ and ‘Paatal Lok’. I will never forget the scene I shot with him and Randeep Hooda for ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai’ at Yari Road. It was a jail shot,” he said.
However, he said that he totally unaware of his personal life and he couldn’t understand what prompted him to take such drastic step.
He said, “You can’t know how people react to things and what has actually happened. You can never know everything about any person,
even though you may be howsoever close to him/her.”
