I’m shocked beyond belief. You had faith in me, even when I didn’t. You gave me my first-ever hit!!! I can never ever forget that or be able to express what it meant to me. I will cherish your friendship always. Rest in peace, my brother.”
John Abraham, who played the main antagonist in ‘Dhoom’ wrote, “Remember the times I spent with you on the film closest to my heart #Dhoom. May the angels always ride with you. Rest in peace, Sanjay Gadhvi.”
