"He was diagnosed with Covid-19 and was in the ICU for the last two weeks. He breathed his last between 1-2 am today at Rajeev Gandhi Super Speciality Hospital, New Delhi," a source close to Sharma told PTI.
This is still difficult to accept. I barely have courage to write this. Ajay independently edited Jagga Jasoos, Ludo but he was associated with me since Life in a Metro, Barfii, Kites . He was my core team, my creative soundboard, my friend. pic.twitter.com/3TiAc10jTe

We lost Ajay Sharma today.
Not just an incredibly fine editor but an absolute gem of a human being . Nothing makes sense .
He is survived by his wife and a four-year-old son. After working as an associate editor on features like 'Barfi!', 'Kai Po Che!' and 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani', Sharma worked as an editor on the Irrfan Khan-starrer 'Karwaan', 'Ludo' and 2020's Amazon Prime Video series 'Bandish Bandits'.
Thank you for giving us the best visual & emotional experience of storytelling through your work. #AjaySharma, your presence amongst us will be deeply missed. Rest in peace. #Karwaan #RashmiRocket pic.twitter.com/8XdExesdi5
