I had bumped into him once at this bookstore that used to be in Infinity mall called Landmark, i was 18, new in Mumbai. I recognised him from his television work. He smiled and I said ‘hi Sir’ He asked me ‘r u an actor?’ I said ‘yes’," he wrote.

He further wrote, “Then he replied saying ‘there’s a tv production house called SphereOrigins across the road, they’re looking for a young boy like you for a tv show, why don’t you go and test for it?’ I said ‘thank you, i must’ & he said ‘all the best, hope u get it’ n we both went our ways”

“I immediately crossed the road, met the casting director, auditioned and got the part. It was nothing big, a 6 days job and i got paid 18k but back then it was a big deal for me. It helped me sustain for one more month thanks to Sameer,” he added.

Talking about another incident he wrote, “He didn’t know me at all. But he was gentle & kind to me, & gave me a direction. Years after that he worked on a film called Ittefaq where my sister was working as an assistant director & she spoke abt this actor very fondly, till this point I didn’t even know his name.”

“Today whn i read abt his passin away,all d memories,smal little details of that brief meetin wit Sameer that ws lost in some corner of my memry re-emerged.Thats d beauty of ppl like Sameer,thy touch u with thr kindness&sensitivity.Thnk u for makin my life better wit ur existence(sic),” Dubey wrote.

I don’t know much about Sameer,but he’ll be alive in my heart and memories because of who he was,just through that one meeting he left this life long impact,helped me,taught me the importance of being kind and goodness.Gone too soon.Indebted to your soul, shall carry it forward.
