Devastated by the news, Paridhi said is concerned about her late co-star's son, who is just one year old. Speaking to ETimes, Paridhi said, "I wasn’t in constant touch with her after our show went off air. But we have a WhatsApp group which is named Mughals and all the actresses who were begums in the show are a part of that group. So that’s how we stay in touch and if anything important is to be shared about anyone’s life, we do that on the group. I got to know about this yesterday on the group and I was shocked."
"Her energy was always high and she was a chirpy person. We had a great time shooting together for the show. I remember she was always full of life. Hearing about her death is really saddening for me and what’s even more bothering is that she has a one-year-old baby. My heart goes out to her family," she added.
Meanwhile, Manisha's son turned a year old on July, this year. She had taken to Twitter to share a post on his birthday. "Happy 1st Birthday my precious baby!!!My little boy you have been such a light in my life during a season of a hard year. I’m so blessed and thankful to be your mumma. I love you so much," the late actress wrote.
