I’m missing it. And I was very close to him because in the last, I would say last one year, I must have met him about 7-8 times. Because I used to really enjoy his company so I used to go and sit with him. He was so gentle. No matter who he would meet, whether it’s a colleague or someone not from the industry, he would always be very warm and soft in meeting people. So, he was a wonderful person, he was a great actor, and it’s a great loss for all of us.”
