Cancer doesn't discriminate between rich or poor, famous or unknown. This is so tragic. We need more awareness about glioma in India too.

As someone who watched her in 9-1-1, she had such potential. The entertainment industry has lost a bright star too soon. Thoughts with her mother who collaborated with her.

While this is sad, I wish Indian media gave equal coverage to talented Indian artists who pass away young. Our own film industry loses so many to accidents and illnesses too.
