Expressing her state of mind, Fatima wrote that she is finding it difficult to keep going and wants Meera to return to them. "If I'd known u will live only for 16 yrs, I would have just kept u very very close to me, not even shown you to the sun and moon, am drowning and dying with ur thoughts, can't live without you, come back to babba and amma. laara keeps waiting for u, love u Thangam⁦ @vijayantony," the post read.

As for Vijay Antony, in his first statement post the tragedy, last month, the Tamil actor and composer remembered his child fondly.

Vijay issued a statement in Tamil and shared it on his social media handle. It loosely translates to, "My dear people, my daughter Meera is a loving and brave girl. She is now in a better and silent place where caste, creed, money, jealousy, pain, poverty and animosity are not there. She is still talking to me. I have died with her. I have now started spending time for her. I will now do good things on her behalf and she will kickstart them."

The 16-year-old Meera was found hanging in her Teynampet residence in the early hours of September 19 and was rushed to a city hospital where she was declared 'brought dead' by the doctors. She is among the two daughters of Antony and was studying in Class 12 at a private school here. A case of unnatural death was registered, and an investigation is on. Meera was a top performer and was the cultural secretary head of her school. Meera was laid to rest at a church in Nungabakkam in Chennai.
