The news of veteran actress Reema Lagoo's sudden demise came as a shock to many, especially those who've worked with her in the industry. Lagoo left for heavenly abode around 3:15 am, this morning at Kokilaben Hospital following a cardiac arrest.

The popular film and television actress has been known for portraying a mohter figure in a number of movies. She has acted in both Marathi and Hindi films. 

Though her first major role in Hindi cinema came with the debut film of Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla, Qayamat Se Qayamat, she shot to fame after playing mother to Salman Khan in Rajshri Productions's Maine Pyar Kiya. 

In her 38 years long career she worked with most of the big names like, Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Govinda, Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt and others, but fans most noted her as Salman Khan's mom on screen.
