Madhuri Dixit’s mother, Snehalata Dixit, passed away on Sunday at the age of 91. She breathed her last at their Mumbai residence. Her cremation will reportedly take place at 3 pm at a crematorium in Worli.
Sharing the heart-breaking news, Madhuri Dixit and her husband Shriram Nene had shared in a joint statement, "Our beloved Aai, Snehalata Dikshit, passed away peacefully this morning surrounded by her loved ones." reports Times of India.
Last year, on her mother’s 90th birthday, Madhuri Dixit penned a loving note on social media. “Happy Birthday, Aai! They say a mother is a daughter’s best friend. They couldn’t be any more right. From everything that you’ve done for me, the lessons that you’ve taught have been the biggest gift for me from you. I wish you only good health & happiness!” Madhuri had penned, along with rare and unseen pictures of her mother.
Back in 2013, Madhuri’s mother joined her in recording a song for ‘Gulab Gang’. Narrating the incident, filmmaker Anubhav Sinha told IANS, “When we approached Madhuri to sing a song in the film, she happily agreed to do so. When she came for the recording, she came with her mom and we discovered her mom is a very good singer. So we asked her mom if she could sing a song. Eventually, we got both Madhuri and her mom to sing a song in the film.”
