“Kaminiji’s elder sister was a very close friend of Maaji. They were classmates, and a most joyous bunch of like-minded friends. The elder sister passed away regretfully in an accident, and as per the tradition of the times, in such an unfortunate situation, the sister of the deceased was married to the bereaved husband, her brother-in-law,” Big B recalled.

He further wrote in his blog, “A most pleasant, warm, affectionate and talented artist, has left us .. at the age of 98 .. an era of great remembrance gone .. not just for the film fraternity, but as a member of the friends fraternity. One by one, they are all leaving us. A most sad moment, filled only now with condolence and prayer. Her legendary performances of those early days, now just memories.”

Kamini Kaushal’s funeral was performed at the Worli crematorium in Mumbai. Her elder son, Vidur, performed her last rites.

Kamini Kaushal made her debut in 1946 with Neecha Nagar. She went on to star in movies such as Nadiya Ke Paar (1948), Ziddi (1948), Shabnam (1949), Biraj Bahu (1954), Jailor (1958), and Shaheed (1965), among many others. Her final screen appearance was in the Aamir Khan film Laal Singh Chaddha.
