She was one of those remarkable women who never stood in the spotlight but whose strength held everyone together.

Her love reached far and wide, and it’s clear from the outpouring of messages and affection that she made a lasting impact on so many hearts. A heartfelt thank you to everyone, especially from the film fraternity, for your kind words, prayers, and love.
