Chunky Pandey’s mother Snehlata Panday, a renowned doctor passed away on Saturday, July 10, in Mumbai due to age-related ailments. She was 85.
Actress Ananya Panday took to Instagram on Sunday to share a bunch of throwback pictures from her childhood days with her grandmother and wrote an emotional note in her memory. The pictures also feature Ananya’s younger sister, Rysa Pandey, and her cousins. In her note, the actress wrote that her grandmother was the life of their family and that she is too loved to ever be forgotten.
The actress wrote, “Rest in power, my angel when she was born the doctors said she wouldn’t live beyond a few years because of a defected heart valve, but my Dadi lived and how. She worked every day up until the age of 85, going to work at 7 am in her block heels and red-streaked hair. She inspired me every single day to do what I love and I’m so grateful to have grown up basking in her energy and light.”
“She had the softest hands to hold, gave the best leg massages, she was a self-proclaimed (and very politically incorrect) palm reader and never ever failed to make me laugh. The life of our family. You’re too loved to ever be forgotten Dadi – I love you so much,” Ananya added.
Snehlata’s last rites were performed on Saturday (July 10) evening. Her remains were taken to Mumbai’s Santa Cruz crematorium. Chunky was seen performing the last rites of his mother.
