Vaibhavi Upadhyay
While the second season of the cult show Sarabhai vs Sarabhai didn’t garner as much love as the first instalment, one character managed to stand out: Jasmine, played by Vaibhavi Upadhyay, Khot nath kehti. On Tuesday, Upadhyay died in a road accident in Himachal Pradesh’s Kullu district while travelling with her fiance. Mourning her untimely death, Rajesh Kumar, who played Rosesh in the popular show, said, “She was a mountain girl, although she is from Mumbai. I realised we had common friends after I met her on set. She had some of the toughest tongue-twisters in her dialogues, but Vabhavi would know them by heart after one glance and perform with absolute confidence. She had a photographic memory. Off camera, she loved listening to PJs; humour was her strong point.”
Sharing that she had a “girl crush” on Upadhyay, co-star Aishwarya Sakhuja shares that she knew of the actor through her actor-husband Rohit Nag. “I found her super attractive.” I would always tell Rohit that she was my girl crush. The little interaction I had with her intimidated me, especially after I saw her craft. Vaibhavi was intelligent and well-informed; you could speak with her about anything under the sun and she would have an input. I [will always] remember her as this beautiful, vibrant person.”
