He was many things to me. Loving Husband, adoring Father of our two girls, Esha & Ahaana, Friend, Philosopher, Guide, Poet, my ‘go to’ person in all times of need – in fact, he was everything to me! And always has been through good times and bad. He endeared himself… pic.twitter.com/WVyncqlxK5
“He was everything to me,” she wrote, remembering how he would so easily connect with her family because of his warm and genuine interest in others.
Hema also brought up his towering presence in Indian cinema and the humility that came with such great stardom. She said his ability to capture the hearts of generations made him a singular figure whose legacy remained etched in the annals of filmmaking. However, beneath the public admiration lay her deepest sorrow; she confessed that the void left by his departure was “indescribable, a silence she expects to live with for the rest of her life. The memories they built together, she added, are now what she holds closest.
