so
saddened
by

dadi
Aka
Shooter
Dadi
Chandro.
Truly
feels
like
a
part
of
me
has
gone.

gone.
She
lived
a
life
full
of
greatness

impacted
so
many
lives.
Questioned
patriarchy

broke
every
shackle
of
ageism.
Her
legacy
will
live
on
in
all
those

became

role
model.
I
feel
extremely
lucky
that
I
got
a
chance
to
portray

on-screen.
It
was
this
process
of
becoming
her
that
taught
me
so
much
about
life
and
being
a
woman.
It
felt
like
I
am
her.
Courage,
compassion,
kindness
and
a
smile
on
her
is
how
she
lived
her
life.
An
ace
air
pistol
shooter,
a
phenomenal
teacher
a
voracious
speaker
and
a
nurturer.
She
will
be
missed
deeply.
My
condolences
