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.
