WHO WAS CHRIS RATHORE?

Chris was a prominent photographer, who shot photoshoots of celebrities like Malaika Arora, Parth Samthaan, Palak Tiwari. Besides being a photographer, he was also a digital content creator. He was the founder of Salt Studios and enjoyed a significant fan following on social media. Chris had over 1 lakh combined followers on his two Instagram handles.

Scarlett Rose, who shared a close bond with the late photographer, penned a heartfelt note. She wrote, From the first time I met you in 2017 in Mumbai on a yacht shoot at Gateway of India, I knew it would be the gateway to our friendship. You planned another shoot but wanted me to wear a saree & I thought you are crazy 🤷🏻‍♀️(because no one ever wanted to shoot me in a saree) but you made me look like an Indian Diva."

"You were so creative & we together were like a dream team that created Art , we would shoot in my house, my dinning room, balcony, my terrace, my garden, anywhere & they turned out the best. The first time I saw The Taj Mahal was with you & again shot me in a red saree. You hated that I cut my hair & told me I need to grow it back because that's how Scarlett Rose should look. Maybe I won't cut my hair short again," she added.

"You always pushed me to be regular in the gym & be fit. You were there when I received my First Fitness Award. I promise to keep posting regularly on Instagram because you would give me lectures because I would take breaks. I'm glad I'm traveled with you to Singapore, Dubai, Goa, Agra etc & learned so much from Traveller Chris. @traveller.chris You encouraged me to travel more, I promise I will continue to do that. Thank you for being the light to my life, my dose of laughter, my constant entertainment, my creative inspiration & my friend who turned into family. Life won't be the same without You 💔I miss you. I know 100% in my heart that it was an accident," Rose said as she expressed her thoughts on Instagram.

We offer our deepest condolences to Chris Rathore's family and hope they get the strength to deal with the major loss.
