Achala
Sachdev,
who
acted
as
the
wife
of
Balraj
Sahni
in
BR
Chopra’s
Waqt,
passed
away
earlier
today
at
the
Poona
Hospital
and
Research
Centre.
88-year-old
Achala
has
been
receiving
treatment
for
various
illnesses
for
over
six
months
now.
After
fracturing
her
leg
recently,
Achala
Sachdev's
health
began
deteriorating.
After
suffering
from
severe
respiratory
problems,
Achala
was
put
on
ventilator
support.
Achala
Sachdev
will
be
best
remembered
in
the
song
'Aae
meri
zohrajabeen'.
Balraj
Sahni
crooned
the
song
for
his
'reel'
wife
in
the
movie
Waqt.
Achala
Sachdev
has
acted
in
over
250
films
and
was
last
seen
in
Na
Tum
Jaano
Na
Hum,
starring
Hrithik
Roshan
and
Esha
Deol.
Though
the
actress
had
been
one
of
the
well
known
actresses
in
her
times,
it
is
surprising
that
nobody
from
Bollywood
visited
her
or
enquired
after
her
in
her
last
days.
