Indianexpress.com, “I still cannot believe that people are saying he was depressed. He is not that kind of a person, but then you cannot predict how human consciousness works sometimes. Whenever we spoke, he was very kind and sweet, he was keeping alright, and he would continuously check on me.

I don’t think he was in depression. However, we never had the kind of conversations he would have with his parents or friends. I was like a son to him." He also revealed that Singh had a “lot of things planned" personally as well as professionally and added he was working on a Punjabi film, as reported by the Indianexpress.com. Shah also told the daily on his last phone call with Gurucharan Singh which was about 4-5 months back.

In a one-hour conversation between them, Shah revealed that Singh motivated him. "I spoke with him 4 to 5 months back over the phone. The conversation went on for an hour or more and he kept motivating me, we spoke about running with dreams.

I was missing him a lot, especially as we were not working together anymore and we were reminiscing," he told Indianexpress.com. Earlier Singh's father also said that his son wasn't in a state of mental distress, however, couldn't explain the reason for his disappearance. On April 28, CCTV footage surfaced, depicting Singh crossing a traffic intersection in New Delhi's Palam area with a backpack.
