‘Gratitide’ from the bottom of my heart to all those who touched our lives during this fight and gave us their love and support unconditionally. I shall remain indebted to them forever.

Actor on Saturday was in Jaipur to attend last rites of his mother. Talking to TOI, he said, ““It has been almost a year-and-a-half since she was fighting cancer, and finally breathed her last on Wednesday.” He then shared a heart-wrenching memory and said, “I’d heard about umbilical cord, both biologically and poetically. But I have understood that connect in the last year-and-a-half while my mom was battling cancer. She became my daughter, my baby, who I wanted to protect. We are three brothers, and in the last year-and-a-half, she had spent every second of hers with one of us. While there is peace that she is not suffering anymore, there is this heart-wrenching thought that from here on, I can’t call anyone mummy, the way I used to call her.” Rajeev is currently seen in Zee TV’s chat show ‘JuzzBaatt’. May god give strength to Rajeev and his family to go through this phase.
