Heartbroken. Danish Siddiqui was supremely talented. A friend & someone who rightly ditched TV to embrace his true love, photography. Won a Pulitzer. Spoke to him just weeks ago for 📷 for my next book. Quiet & brave. Deepest condolences to his young family. Farewell, Danish. pic.twitter.com/vHSMl7Wqqm
