Priyanka further acknowledged that she saw him as a mentor and was one of her strongest supporters, "I've had very few constants in my life and outside my parents, you were one that I truly saw as my mentor.

Sharing a snippet from it, the actor wrote, "This video above, is part of an interview he did around the release of my memoir, in which he features prominently. As always, his words were an encouragement and an affirmation, something I knew I could always count on".

Will keep striving to make you proud.Picture abhi baaki hai. Gone too soon. My love and condolences to Papia, @guhasanket and everyone whose life he touched. Love you and rest in peace PG," Priyanka concluded her tribute.
