Adah Sharma is shocked that her Rana Vikrama (2015) co-star, Puneeth Rajkumar is no more. She remembers him as “one of the kindest people” she ever got a chance to work with.

Recalling how he was always up for anything to make his fans happy, Sharma tells us, “I can’t remember which flower but he was allergic to one. But one day, a group of his fans came to meet him with huge garlands. And despite the allergy, he allowed them to place it around his neck! He said they’ve come so far to see him and they’d be disappointed if he didn’t let them... He was overworked that day but he still took pictures with all his fans and was smiling in them.”

The 29-year-old shares that through her interactions with Rajkumar, the one conclusion she came to was that his aim in life was to “put a smile on everyone’s face” and he made sure everyone around him was happy. “I think that is how he should be remembered. A massive superstar who treated everyone on set equally, irrespective of designations,” the actor ends on an emotional note.
