Vibha Chibber on Rita Bhaduri’s sudden demise

In a tragic turn of events, Hindi film and television actor Rita Bhaduri passed away Tuesday morning. Actor Vibha Chibber, who has worked with the veteran actress on the show Mr. Kaushik Ki Paanch Bahuein, remembers the time spent with her.

"Rita Bhaduri Ji was one of the most senior actresses who I have worked with till date. She played my samdhan on the show Mrs. Kaushik Ki Paanch Bahuein. She was with us throughout her month-long cameo and bonded with the entire team. She was a very silent person and never made people on the set feel that she is a senior actress. She was a friend to everyone on the set,” she says.


The actor goes on to add, “She used to bring non-veg dishes for everyone from home once or twice a week. She was very fond of cooking. I would often say to her that she had a big heart."

Talking about her acting capabilities, Vibha says that Rita was amazing. “She was a very spontaneous actor. Although she was relaxed on the set, she was always punctual. We have truly lost a great artist today,” she says.
