I have not come to terms with Vaibhavi Upadhyaya’s death. I an not being able to understand how to process the news.) It is more about losing such a wonderful person, friend. We were not regularly in touch, but once in a while, we used to forward something to each other from time to time. Interaction happened mostly during shooting. Bohut pyaari ladki thi. (She was a very sweet girl).”
