Indubai Vesvikar and her daughter-in-law (Right) Pratima Vesvikar

It’s the same as Carrie Fisher and her mother Debbie Reynolds, with one notable difference. In this case, it was Indubai Vesvikar’s daughter-in-law Pratima who couldn’t handle the news of her mum-in-law’s demise and passed away soon after. In this bittersweet saga that unfolded on Wednesday at Bhaji Gali area near Gol Deval, Girgaum, when 85-year-old Indubai was declared dead by the family doctor after she complained of uneasiness at around 9 pm, Pratima reacted with shock and also suffered a heart attack. Pratima was wailing extremely loudly, and according to Sunil Pangerkar, a neighbour of the family, kept saying, “You left me alone, why didn’t you take me with you?”
