The actor had a property on lease in Mcleodganj, a popular tourist location in Himachal Pradesh. According to reports, the actor used to visit the hill station often.
“This is totally shocking to me because I have been seeing him on and off in restaurants in Dharamshala. Just a few days back, a friend of mine approached him seeking his help for a theatre show in Mcleodganj for which he seemed very interested. Last I saw him was a week or so ago. Always seen him alone, either in restaurants or strolling around the forest areas,” revealed Dharamshala-based filmmaker Abhimanyu Kukreja
