Apurva Agnihotri-Shilpa Saklani On Friend Kushal Punjabi’s Suicide
Apurva Agnihotri, Shilpa Saklani, and their daughter Ishaani recently made an appearance on Siddharth Kannan’s chat show. Shilpa sobbed as she spoke about their best friend, Kushal Punjabi when Siddharth questioned the pair about his suicide. Apurva and Shilpa are still having trouble coping with the late actor’s passing, even though it has been more than three years. The two remembered meeting Kushal the night before he was discovered dead in his flat while speaking with Siddharth.
The Pardes actor said, “He was with us the night before he committed suicide. He was completely fine, and he had even received a present from Hong Kong for Shilpa. This stage is extremely dangerous since you can never tell what a depressed person is thinking at any given time. It is that moment when you suddenly realize you are unwanted in this world and move. All of a sudden, you decided it wasn’t worthwhile.
“We still find it difficult to discuss Kushal without getting upset. When he began confiding in us, our only concern was how he could do this to himself. I was upset with him since Shilpa still sobs whenever we talk about him. Since I couldn’t believe he did this, I refrained from crying when we went for his cremation. We are unable to put into words the pain we felt upon his death,” Apurva continued.
Shilpa Saklani Reveals Kushal Was Impacted By His Broken Marriage
Shilpa Saklani claimed that Kushal was sad about his failed marriage during the conversation. “Obviously, his split marriage had a significant negative impact on him. Upset the woh, bohot, bohot, bohot. When a parent is separated from their child, it is a tremendous concern. As parents, we are all aware of the effects of a failed marriage and distance from one’s children. One wouldn’t imagine he would do anything like this if he told me that even in the worst-case situation, I am going through this,” said Shilpa.
