Kavita Chaudhary was ill
Kavita Chaudhary’s nephew Ajay Sayal told that she was admitted in Parvati Devi Hospital in Amritsar for the last three-four days. He breathed his last at 8.30 pm last night in the same hospital in Amritsar. Kavita Chaudhary was ill for a long time and was undergoing treatment. Kavita Choudhary’s nephew Ajay Sayal informed that Kavita Choudhary’s funeral will be held in Amritsar itself. Actress Suchitra has also expressed grief.
The actress wrote, ‘My heart feels heavy as I share this news with you all. Last night, we lost the epitome of strength, inspiration and grace – Kavita Chaudhary. For those who grew up in the 70s and 80s, she was the face of the ‘Udaan’ show on DD and the iconic ‘Surf’ advertisement, but for me she was much more than that. I first met Kavetaji at his modest residence in Versova for an assistant director interview. I had no idea that I was about to encounter the legend himself. As soon as he opened his door, memories of his ‘bhaisaab’ line from the Surf ad echoed in my mind and I couldn’t stop myself from saying it out loud. That moment marked the beginning of a bond that went beyond mere friendship. She became my guru, my guide, my spiritual leader and most of all, she became family.’
