In a shocking incident, Yeh Rishte Hain Pyaar Ke actor Sameer Sharma was found hanging at his place in Malad. The actor has suspected to be died by suicide.
Actor Satyajeet Dubey in a Twitter thread fondly remembered his industry colleague Sameer Sharma, who is best known for TV shows such as Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke, was 44.
Satyajeet, who most recently appeared in the Sanjay Dutt film Prassthanam, wrote that he first met Sameer as an 18-year-old in a mall. “Rest in Peace brother #SameerSharma. I had bumped into him once at this bookstore that used to be in infinity mall called Landmark, i was 18, new in Mumbai. I recognised him from his television work. He smiled and i said ‘hi Sir’ He asked me ‘r u an actor?’ I said ‘yes’.”
He continued, “Then he replied saying ‘there’s a tv production house called SphereOrigins across the road, they’re looking for a young boy like you for a tv show, why don’t you go and test for it?’ I said ‘thank you, i must’ & he said ‘all the best, hope u get it’ n we both went our ways. I immediately crossed the road, met the casting director, auditioned and got the part. It was nothing big, a 6 days job and i got paid 18k but back then it was a big deal for me. It helped me sustain for one more month thanks to Sameer. He didn’t know me at all. But he was gentle & kind to me, & gave me a direction. Years after that he worked on a film called Ittefaq where my sister was working as an assistant director & she spoke abt this actor very fondly, till this point I didn’t even know his name.”

Satyajeet added, “Quite stupid of me, I know. Nevertheless, finally, I got to know his name & remembered him fondly for helping me out, guiding me or however you want to put it. Sameer Sharma was a kind, gentle soul. I’ll always be grateful to him, will remember him with love and fondness. Today when I read abt his passing away, all d memories, small little details of that brief meeting with Sameer that was lost in some corner of my memory re-emerged. That’s d beauty of ppl like Sameer, thy touch u with the kindness&sensitivity. Thank u for making my life better wit ur existence.”
For the uninitiated, Sameer was found by his building watchman, who alerted others. According to police, he had rented the apartment in February. The investigation is ongoing.
