Samir Sharma’s Death ‘Shocking News for Me’, Says Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke Co-star Pooja Joshi

“I got a call from someone saying informing me about his death and I was shocked. Initially, I thought it must be fake news, but then I called up people and inquired about him and realised he was actually no more with us. This is big shocking news for me. I am not able to understand what must have pushed him to take such a big step. The moment I heard the news, I went numb, I couldn’t believe that he took his own life. This year is so bad,” she said.

Pooja shared a still with Samir from the show and said, “Still in shock, why? You were a thorough gentleman, a dear friend, such a supportive actor. I wish you’d reached out to someone. Someone who could’ve divert your mind in that weak moment. And now you’re gone. You will be missed dear. rest in peace.”

Pooja said Samir was a very reserved person on the sets. “We had fun moments too on the sets but he liked spending time with himself on the sets. He was quite professional and was a very good co-star. He did not know him much on the personal level, he was more a co-star for me. I did not interact with him much,” the actress said.
