Reema Lagoo's sad demise has stunned the whole film
industry. She passed away due to cardiac arrest at the age of 59.
We caught up with a few of the celebs who have worked with
the veteran actress in several of the movies. Mahesh Bhatt, who worked with her
in TV show Naamkarann, said, "The sudden death of a dear friend hurls
one into deep silence. She was a great actor and a greater human being."
Whereas Mohnish Behl, who played her son in Hum Saath Saath
Hai and son-in-law in Hum Aapke Hai Koun...! told, "It's the level of
comfort that one experience with her, with an actor who is few years senior to
you. We worked together in lot of films and there was this comfort level. You
could always sit down with her, approach her, chitchat, be casual and have a
light hearted conversation. She was a very welcoming and warm human being. In
fact I have a small house in Versova where i used to stay if i had late night
shifts and Reema Ji used to stay in opposite and we used to talk from the
windows. She was a wonderful wonderful woman. It is a terrible loss."
Reema ji is recalled for her roles specifically in
Tu Tu Main Main, Shrimaan Shrimati, Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!, Rangeela, Kal Ho
Naa Ho, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Vaastav: The Reality, Yes Boss, Hum Saath Saath
Hai, Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon and others.
The actress was admitted to the Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai
soon after midnight. She had complained of chest pain.
The hospital’s executive director said a famous agency,
"We will issue a health report later in the day, after consulting with her
family."
Lagoo’s son-in-law Vinay Waikul told, "She was
complaining of chest pain so we took her to the hospital around 1 AM. She
passed away due to a heart attack around 3.15 AM. She was perfectly fine and
had no health issues...so it is really shocking for all of us that she is no
more with us."
