He also shared that Prashant was supposed to meet them in Mumbai for a mini get-together. He was quoted as saying:

"His recent work in Paatal Lok Season 2 and the upcoming film with Salman Khan were big milestones in his career. Prashant was extremely happy and excited about this phase. The news came as a huge shock because we were all busy with our work and had planned to meet in Mumbai this week. Prashant had mentioned that he needed to return as some dubbing work was pending for Galwan."

In the same conversation, Meiyang shared that they had been planning to meet for a long time. He shared that Prashant and some of their other friends planned to meet in November 2025 and then again in January 2026. However, unfortunately, the plan never happened. He even reflected on how close their friendship was and stated:

"We had plans to meet that had been discussed for a long time. We had last met in November, and the idea was to meet again in January, but that never happened. He was also shooting with Salman Khan, which made the news even more difficult to process. At just 43, he was far too young to leave us. We shared a long and deep friendship, and we cared for each other deeply."
