His yet another close friend and a popular doctor on social media Ashwin Vijay also wrote a heart-wrenching note. “My life will never be the same without you Sethu. The most painful day in my life. 30 years of friendship, brother hood, the vision we had for the world & youngsters, we decided to give this world ONLY goodness & happiness. When you left’ you took away a part of me which will remain empty forever. One small request for the people – HE PASSED AWAY bec OF CARDIAC ARREST & NOT CORONA, pls don’t spread rumours at this point. This was the last photo we took. I should have taken more. I have never declared my birthday on media ever but March 26th painfully has become the day you left us. Yours was the first phone call I answered on my birthday and you told me in a funny note “Machan, I am getting only bread for you to cut this year because of corona lockdown”. Did not realise that will be the last call. Imagine the upcoming years of March 26th’s for me 😢,” wrote Ashwin.
