Surekha Sikri was the head of our family, who was more progressive than the entire family tree.” Stating ahead on how she was similar to the character she played in the film, he revealed, “ You know what, that was her in real life too.

We watched her frail demeanour walking towards her building. That’s my last memory of her.” The actor then urged all his fans to watch one of her recitals and said, “I would request you to watch her recite Faiz Ahmed Faiz’s nazm “Mujh-se pehli si mohabbat mere mehboob na maang.” Aapko unse aur mohabbat ho jaayegi.” The actor ended the note by referring to Surekha Sikri as “an impeccable performer. A consummate artiste. A legend. You’ll be missed Surekha ma’am.” and thanked her for all the beautiful memories.
