While the nation is mourning over another loss, it is the biggest loss to her family. Every daughter is utterly close to her mother and losing a mother is like losing a limb. Growing up, our mother is the person, who constantly ensures our safety and well-being. She is the first person, we look up to and losing her must be an unbearable pain. Saroj Khan's mortal remains were taken to the Awais-e-Qarni Muslim Kabristan in Malad for burial, early morning, and her daughter is inconsolable and burst into tears outside the cemetery due to the loss.
While the family is dealing with the loss and her daughters are crying, Bollywood celebrities too are in shock and condolences started pouring in from all over the industry.
