TellyChakkar got in touch with actor Darshan Zariwala, who had been a close friend of Amit. Recalling his bond with the actor, Darshan said, “Our friendship started as we starred in a few Gujrati plays together. He was a very talented actor. We also starred in a Gujrati film together. He was deeply immersed in and enjoyed music. We connected very well on our love for music. We used to both sing together. It’s very shocking and saddening to lose a friend and an artist like him at the early age of 47 years.”
