Even today, the entire team is like one big happy family. I just can’t believe that she has left us. I am not in town and it feels terrible that I won’t be able to see her for the last time. I still can’t stop crying thinking about her.”

The lead actor of Kumkum, Hussain Kuwajerwala added, “Such news takes time to settle down. She was so loved by everyone around and that is because she gave so much to everyone. I have learnt a lot from her professionally and personally. Our bond was nothing different than what it was on screen. She would appreciate us when we did something good and guide us when we went wrong. Come what may, she would always be in a jovial mood, live life and make every moment count. I hope and pray that she is in a more peaceful place now. Will miss my Dadi Maa.”

Shiwani Chakraborty, who plays Rekha in Nimki Mukhiya, said, “I will really miss her. More than a co-actor, she was a great human being. She was a warm person and her smile was so vibrant. We used to talk for hours. I have learnt lot of things from her. One primary teaching being that you need to always be positive. She loved her work and encouraged us to do the same. It’s a really sad news for the entire team.”

Indraneil Mukherjee, known for his roles in shows such as Tumhari Paakhi and Pyaar Ke Do Naam: Ek Raadha, Ek Shyaam, said, ” It’s really sad that she’s not with us anymore and I know everyone from Nimki Mukhiya is grieving. Unfortunately, I did not have too many scenes with her so didn’t get to shoot with her regularly. But from whatever time I got to spend, I always felt she was an inherently happy person. Always full of positive energy, always smiling.”
