According to her, he was not an absentee father and used to check on his daughter whenever he had the opportunity.
After grieving with her family, she said she called her daughter to break the sad news to her, describing it as a very painful moment.

The actress has since rarely spoken about him, except on a few occasions.
In her words:
“It was a heartbreaking experience. He died in August 2018. He was sick and had been on admission in the hospital. My mother and sister went to visit him on a Sunday, and he died on Friday. We had even spoken over the phone, and he was sounding better and said he would be discharged on Friday. Someone later called me on his phone from the hospital and said he was no more.”
