“Today marks the 13th day since Kriya… As we mourn our beloved mother, I recall a few lines of remembrance. When you lose your mother, everything changes. You don’t just lose a parent — you lose your biggest comfort. The one who stayed strong so you could be soft. The one who made the hard things feel bearable. The one who always put you before herself. You realize the silence is louder.”
The post resonated with fans and members of the film fraternity, many of whom offered their condolences and shared memories of Nirmal Kapoor’s kindness and elegance.
