The quintessential Indian movie mom departs.
She was a good actress, and a very pretty mother to our stars. I was watching Grahasti a few days back, where she plays Ashok Kumar's wife (with about a dozen kids for them)...
May her soul find peace.

Haan may her soul rest in peace

There was some disturbing news about her some years back in the papers Will write about it later

N

Sad to hear this news... May her soul rest in peace...

Was good in character roles that she played...

Sorry to hear the sad news. May God grant her eternal peace!!!

Oh no ... Sad news ....

Hope her soul rest in peace...

I knew her more as Amitabh Bachhan's mother ... (since kid was a and am big fan of Big ... I think among all of her films with mother's roles .. Deewar left some impact on audience...

That is indeed sad news.

May peace be with her.

Om Shanti.

Sad news indeed.

Dont know y, but she looked like Vaijayanti Mala to me.

i remember wathing her movie Har har mahadev when i was a kid...she played the role of Parvatiji... for a long time after that she was the most beautiful lady for me its such a sad news...
i do hope she rests in peace where ever she is....

I had no idea, so sad. Though I don't watch hindi film much these days, I do remember her very well from older film.

So sad she's no longer with us. RIP.
