"She expressed her love for her kids. Her thoughts were on what had to be done to take care of them in the future. That was the reason for her sudden decision to move out of Bigg Boss."
Earning till the endJade, who died on Sunday, left behind sons Bobby (5) and Freddie (4). She was raising funds for them till her last breath, said Zulfi.
Jade knew of her impending death and signed a deal with publishing house HarperCollins, giving them the rights to her diary in which she tracked her final days. The result will be a book titled Forever in My Heart.
She signed a similar agreement for the telecast of her funeral. The funds thus raised will be donated to a cancer centre and trust, which will bring up her children.
Jade, said Zulfi, did all this for the sake of her children, to whom she had written several letters to be read by them in the future.

Zulfi's brother Syed Viquar said the Bigg Boss housemates liked Jade. "Zulfi said the inmates found her friendly and she was very close to Sambhavana."u00a0
