“I am extremely sad to know about Vidyaji’s untimely demise. She was an extremely talented actor but most importantly a very good, genuine and down to earth person. I remember her very sweet request when she was cast to play a pivotal role in one of the shows I was producing ‘Itti Si Khushi’ she requested me if I would direct one of her scenes. Though I have stopped directing for long, but couldn’t say no to such a senior and veteran actor. I thought of directing one scene but seeing her enthusiasm and dedication as an actor, I ended up directing full day,” said Rajan.

“She was extremely warm and created a family bond with all unit and actors. She will be missed and I pray for her departed soul,” he added.

One of Vidya Sinha’s co-actor Vidya Sinha also expressed her sorrow on her untimely death.

“It’s a big loss for the film and TV Industry. As a child I have seen her as a heroine and then I had the honour of working with her as my ‘Dida’ in the TV show ‘Itti Si Khushi.’ As my onscreen Dadi in the show ‘Itti Si Khushi’ I remember gushing when she complimented me for being a fine actress. She was extremely loving and caring. We will miss her presence but she will live through her films,” said Smiriti Karla.
