Sharing a series of pictures, including the ones from her Pavitra Rishta days, Ankita wrote, “Priya was my first friend from Pavitra Rishta. Me, Prarthana, and Priya.. our little gang… it always felt so wholesome when we were together. Priya, Prats, and I lovingly called each other wedee in Marathi, and that bond was truly special. She was there in my good days and held me through my sad days… never once missing to show up when I needed her. She never missed attending the Gauri Maha Aarti during Ganpati Bappa, and this year, I’ll pray for your soul there, my wedee… while missing you dearly.”

Losing her is a reminder that we really never know the battles someone is fighting behind their smile. So, be kind… always. Priya, my dear wedee, you will always live in my heart and in my memories. Thank you for every laugh, every tear, every moment. Until we meet again… Om Shanti.”
