म्हारी दादी चंद्रो गयी ।। 🙏🏽

मिलना था गाम मैं ।। गाम मैं नई शूटिंग रेंज का उद्घाटन करना था ।। बात फोड़नी थी ।। #COVID19 के कारण प्रोग्राम आगे हो गया ।। अब तो सिर्फ़ यादगार ही रह जाएगी 😢#ShooterDadipic.twitter.com/48kvd4Q8GG

Bhumi shared a series of pictures on Instagram and wrote, "Chandro Dadi Am so saddened by the demise of Chandro Tomar dadi Aka Shooter Dadi Chandro. Truly feels like a part of me has gone. A part of family has gone. She lived a life full of greatness and impacted so many lives. Questioned patriarchy and broke every shackle of ageism. Her legacy will live on in all those girls whom she became a roll model for. "Bhumi also issued a statement saying, "It is completely devastating to know that Chandro dadi is not with us anymore. It really feels like a very big personal loss. She was someone who lived a very full filling life. She made her own rules, paved her own path and she had a beautiful sisterhood and a beautiful partnership with Prakashi dadi and together they left an impact on so many lives. I feel so fortunate to have played her character, got a chance to learn about life from her and she has left a very big part of herself with me."Kangana re-shared a tweet by Golfer Arjun Bhati captioning it, "No please no....."Actor Randeep Hooda also mourned her death and tweeted a picture with her.
