Filmmaker-actor Ramesh Deo considered actor-wife Seema Deo his lucky charm. Apparently, her mogra grabbed his attention when they first met on a train. The couple had a beautiful relationship until Ramesh passed away last year. Born Nalini Saraf, Seema is best known for her performance in Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Anand (1971). Seema, 81, breathed her last at a private hospital on Thursday morning after a long battle with Alzheimer’s and other ailments.
The actor was part of over 80 Marathi and a few Hindi films. But people mainly remember the actor for her motherly roles. Reminiscing about her 35-year association with Seema, dancer-actor Kishori Shahane Vij says that the Deos were the “first family of Marathi cinema” she got to know at the start of her career. “I’ve known Seema tai since the initial stages of my career. I have acted in their productions too. They were active for a long time and always spread cheer on the set, even in the later years. Despite being such a great actor, Seema tai would do all the grocery shopping herself. I would often bump into her at Sahakari Bhandar in Juhu, and she would say, ‘It is our home, so we only have to do things for it.’ She was not too active professionally after marriage but would do select projects; often Ramesh kaka would be there. Makers [often] wanted her to play his wife on screen. Ramesh kaka and Seema tai were respected and loved as a couple,” shares Shahane, who has also worked with the Deo sons—Ajinkya and Abhinay.
