I remember her from Bigg Boss - she showed such strong character there too. Work can be therapeutic during grief. Hope she finds comfort in keeping busy. More power to her!

While I appreciate her dedication, I hope she's not rushing back too soon. Grief needs time to process. Our Indian culture sometimes pressures people to "move on" quickly after loss.

Respect for her professionalism! In our Indian entertainment industry, taking breaks can mean losing opportunities. She's showing real grit by continuing her work while honoring her father's memory.

The way she's handling this with grace is inspiring. Many of us have lost parents during COVID times and couldn't even have proper last rites. Her strength gives hope to others going through similar pain.
