Earlier, while sharing the news about the death of her brother, she penned down a poem for him. She wrote, "The day God called you home, You left us beautiful memories. Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always by our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one. The chain will link again.You gave no one a last farewell. Not ever said good bye. You were gone before we knew it, And only god knows why. A million times we will miss you, A million times we will cry. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died, we will meet again someday
I thank God he made you our brother while you were here on earth.". Several celebs offered condolences to her and her family.
