Badhaai Ho stars Neena Gupta and Gajraj Rao also shared emotional tributes for Surekha Sikri
Veteran actor Surekha Sikri, who died at the age of 75 on Friday morning, was remembered by members of the film fraternity. The cast of the 2018 film Badhaai Ho shared emotional tributes for the actress on social media. Ayushmann Khurrana, who starred as Surekha Sikri's grandson in the film, wrote an extensive note, sharing some memories from the film Badhaai Ho. "In every film we have a family and we end up spending more time with the film family than our own families. One such beautiful family was in Badhaai Ho. Out of all my films, it was the perfect family with a perfect cast. Surekha Sikri was the head of our family, who was more progressive than the entire family tree. You know what, that was her in real life too. A complete boho. A chiller. Young at heart," read an excerpt from his post. Ayushmann recalled an incident from the film's screening and he wrote in his note: "I remember when she was boarding an auto rickshaw after the screening of our film, Tahira (his wife Tahira Kashyap) and I gave her a lift back home and we said "ma'am you are the real star of our film" and she replied "wish I get more work." Tahira and I were speechless. We watched her frail demeanour walking towards her building. That's my last memory of her." He added, "I would request you to watch her recite Faiz Ahmed Faiz's nazm 'Mujh-se pehli si mohabbat mere mehboob na maang.' Aapko unse aur mohabbat ho jaayegi. An impeccable performer. A consummate artiste. A legend. You'll be missed Surekha ma'am. Thank you for the beautiful memories." Read Ayushmann Khurrana's post here:
