Filmmaker Abhinay Deo, who shared a close bond with his mother, told PTI, “She passed away at 8.30-9 am at her residence in Bandra due to old age. She had just been withdrawn completely, and eventually it is just old age. Alzheimer’s is such a thing that you stop figuring out how to function. She had dementia leading up to Alzheimer’s and she was suffering from it for over three years.”

The filmmaker further added, “There is no specific reason for her death. Due to Alzeihmer and dementia, the person forgets how to walk. The muscle memory stars coming down and one by one the organs start shutting down.”
