Actor Inder Kumar passed away last week. One of his most memorable roles in recent times was in Wanted.

Director Prabhu Dheva says, “I remember Inder was so disciplined and had a terrific physique. Inder came into Wanted on Salman Khan’s recommendation. He played Salman’s friend, and we all know what shape Salman is in.

Inder had to look fighting-fit to match up to Salman. I remember how Salman would make sure that he would work out. After Wanted, I was not in touch with him. Inder was committed to his role in the film. He would come to the sets on time and do his work really well.

In fact I wanted to work with him again... Now he is gone. The entertainment industry is scary. When it favours you, it gives you everything. When it doesn’t, it takes away everything. I feel sorry about his going so suddenly. I should have tried to give him work.”
