However, Shiphira recalled when she had to pause a shoot once because KK was not feeling well.

She also urged men to speak up when they are going through issues, as that is the only way they can find help.

"There was a day I found him at his house after I had asked him to do a shoot with me, and he accepted and told me he would do it, only that he was sick, and he did not tell me. I told him he didn't have to always say that he is strong. He tried telling me he would be okay after taking meds, but I emphasised that it was not a must that we shoot. He was strong, but even the strong ones break. He was more than strong, as you can see, because he used to say he was strong even when he wasn't," she said.

Shiphira also mourned KK as someone assertive and persistent even when he was not feeling well.

"For example, that day, if I were someone selfish, I would have told him to take the meds and shoot because I had already spent my fare and all that. Even as a boychild, you need to speak up even if you think it is embarrassing," she added.
