She wrote: "There is a cycle that we follow - some souls have to leave the earth so new ones can come. But it shakes you and leaves you numb when a soul leaves before its time.
When a friend goes like this, you wonder if being more connected could have saved them. But when you ARE regularly in touch, it's confusing. You wonder what could have gone so wrong for this to happen? Why didn't they say anything? Reach out? There will be a hundred questions, none that we have answers to.
Dearest @itsme_kushalpunjabi, this is so heartbreaking. You were always so warm, wonderful, vibrant. Our children played together, you always told us how much you loved being a #Dad. 😔 Never saw this coming! I wish you'd have said something, anything. You were always so positive. You will be so missed, dear friend. Prayers/strength to your family, especially your sweet little boy. 🙏 We love you always #Kushlani." [sic]
The actor was married to an European woman, Audrey Dolhen, and shared a three-year-old son named, Kian, but the couple was living separately for a while.
