The actress was playing the role of a matriarch, Dayavanti Mehta, a strong character with shades of grey
Reema Lagoo, who had made her TV comeback with Naamkaran, was shooting till late evening on Wednesday for her show. Says a source present on the sets, “She was suffering from a throat infection for the past three-four days, so she told the producer that she will go to the doctor on Thursday morning before coming on the sets at 11 am. Unfortunately, she passed away. As a mark of respect, the unit cancelled the shoot and all the actors went to pay their last respects to Reemaji.” The actress was playing the role of a matriarch, Dayavanti Mehta, a strong character with shades of grey. When we contacted Sayantani Ghosh, who played her daughter-in-law in the show, she said she is disturbed by the news, but has nice memories of the late actress. “It was an honour to work with her. It’s almost a year since we were working together and on Wednesday we completed 200 episodes of the show. She was a gorgeous person and I will always remember her fondly,” says Sayantani.
