Surekha Sikri ji is no more… Have grown watching her performances at the NSD repertory company… She was unique in her work and in life… Fond memories of listening to her heavy near baritone voice over the few words she spoke at Mandi house … People live to leave. Naman

This is tough to process now. #BalikaVadhu has been an integral part of our childhood and the reason was Daadisa ❤️ She’s still our Daadisa and always will be.. Throwback to the best character bond, Shiv and Daadisa ❤️
