“We are still unable to accept that she is no longer with us. It’s been one year, and it seems all unreal and unbelievable. She was an incredibly enormous force, and that can never diminish. We rather don’t want to come to terms with her death. Her voice lingers on throughout the day, her memories are there. Every time my phone rings, I feel, ‘Is it Didi calling me?'"

“She was a believer in God, she would do puja, and her room was filled with the fragrance of incense. All these are small, little, everyday things that we miss dearly. She never lost the connection till the last moment. Everybody was special. She had a large heart, and she would give love to everyone.”
While everyone is still sorrowful, many celebrities remembered her and posted on their social media handle.
