Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar played the roles of Prakashi Tomar and Chandro Tomar in their biopic 'Saand Ki Aankh'.
Chandro Tomar, one of the oldest sharpshooters passed away due to COVID-19 complications. She was called 'Shooter Dadi' and made a mark across the globe for winning many competitions in the shooting. Chandro along with her sister-in-law Prakashi Tomar held the gun for the first time after they become senior citizens. They smashed the patriarchy and are among the beloved sports icons in the country.
A biopic was made on them titled Saand Ki Aankh in which Bhumi Pednekar played Chandro Tomar. She paid heartbreaking condolence to her by tweeting, "Devastated by the news of Chandro Dadi’s demise. Feels like a part of me is gone. She made her own rules & paved the path for many girls to find their dream. Her legacy will live on in them. Condolences to the family. Am lucky I got to know and be her. #ChandroTomar #ShooterDadi."
While Taapsee Pannu, who was seen as Prakashi Tomar shared a photo with Chandro and wrote, "For the inspiration, you will always be... You will live on forever in all the girls you gave hope to live. My cutest rockstar May the peace be with you."
In a statement, Bhumi also remembered Chandro Didi's teachings and said, "It is completely devastating to know that Chandro Dadi is not with us anymore. It really feels like a very big personal loss. She was someone who lived a very full filling life. She made her own rules, paved her own path, and had a beautiful sisterhood and a beautiful partnership with Prakashi dadi and together they left an impact on so many lives. I feel so fortunate to have played her character, got a chance to learn about life from her and she has left a very big part of herself with me. My condolences to the family and everybody whose life she impacted because I know there will be many who will be grieving her passing away today. But she always said tann buddha hota hai, mann buddha nai hota. I know in spirit she will always be with us because her teachings are going to be with us. She will thoroughly be missed."
