Respect for sharing such personal grief. In our culture, we often don't talk openly about loss, but it's important. Her message "keep making memories" is a beautiful lesson for all of us.

It's heartwarming to see a celebrity be so genuine. The photo from her childhood is precious. On a side note, looking forward to KD: The Devil! Dhruva Sarja and Sanjay Dutt combo sounds exciting.

While I empathize with her loss, I sometimes feel these very personal moments are turned into content for social media. Grief is private. Just a respectful observation.

Cardiac arrest is so sudden and scary. Happened to my uncle too. It's a reminder for all of us in India to get regular health check-ups, especially after a certain age. Take care of your parents, folks.

Life is truly a mix of highs and lows. She lost her dad but also published her book that year. Her father must be so proud of her from up there. Om Shanti. 🕊️
