After the demise of the veteran actress, her daughter shared the heartbreaking news<\/a>. In a statement she shared in Marathi: \u201cIt is with deep sorrow that I share the news that our mother, the esteemed and beloved actress Mrs. Jyoti Chandekar Pandit, who lived life on her own terms and always smiled wholeheartedly, passed away today, 16th August, at the age of 68 after a brief illness.”<\/p>\n

Recalling the experience in an interview with The Craft, she said, \u201cIt felt like I literally came back from the brink of death. No production waits two months for a single actor. But everyone waited for me. I wasn\u2019t working for two months, yet they managed everything so beautifully that it still felt like Poorna Aaji\u2026 Aaji is here. No one let my absence be felt.”<\/p>\n
