Shooter Chandro Tomar, fondly known as Shooter Dadi, died after battling COVID-19 on Friday. She was admitted to a hospital in Meerut earlier this week. Bhumi Pednekar, who played Chandro in the 2019 film Saand Ki Aankh, says Chandro Tomar's death comes as a "personal loss" to her. "It is devastating to know that Chandro dadi is not with us anymore. It feels like a big personal loss. She was someone who lived a fulfilling life, made her own rules, paved her own path and had a beautiful sisterhood and partnership with Prakashi dadi. Together they left an impact on so many lives," says Pednekar.

The actor adds, "I feel fortunate to have played her character. I got a chance to learn about life from her. She has left a big part of herself with me. My condolences to the family and everybody whose life she impacted because I know there will be many who will be grieving her [loss]. But she always said, ‘tann buddha hota hai, mann buddha nahin hota'. I know in spirit, she will always be with us because of her teachings are going to. She will thoroughly be missed."

Sharing a picture with her on social media, Taapsee Pannu, who played the role of Prakashi Tomar in the film, wrote, "For the inspiration you will always be... You will live on forever in all the girls you gave hope to live. My cutest rockstar, may peace be with you. I learnt from you to never give up."
