It turned fatal on Tuesday as one of his fans died in Gujarat's Vadodara, which left the 51-year-old actor deeply saddened.
While speaking to the media on the same, he said, "One of our colleagues was traveling with us. Her uncle came down to see her at Baroda. He suffered from a cardiac arrest. It was really unfortunate."
"We started the journey thinking we all will travel, spend time with each other when one of your own loses someone one trip like this, it saddens us all. On behalf of everyone, our prayers and blessings with the whole family. She has reached there. I just spoke to her. I think the burial is in an hour or half hour," continued the 'Dilwale' actor.
Adding, "We have some of our people with the family members there. Hopefully God will bless her soon."
