Yesterday
(January
14,
2020),
legendary
actor
Raj
Kapoor's
daughter
and
Shweta
Bachchan's
mother-in-law
Ritu
Nanda
passed
away
at
the
age
of
71,
after
her
seven-year-long
battle
with
cancer
in
New
Delhi.
After
attending
her
funeral,
Amitabh
Bachchan
took
to
his
blog
to
pay
an
emotional
tribute
for
his
daughter's
mother-in-law
in
the
evening.
Talking
about
how
he
came
to
know
about
Ritu's
passing
away,
the
actor
wrote
in
his
blog,
"...that
silent
knock
at
the
work
place
..
the
hurried
expression
of
worried
concern
..
the
hours
that
sleep
in
most
parts
of
the
World
that
seek
the
midnight
..
shuffled
steps
,
soft
anxious
and
disturbed
conversations
..
and
then
within
a
blink
..
the
lights
go
out
..
..
she
has
gone
.."
Recalling
all
their
moments
together,
the
superstar
further
wrote,
"...polite
conversation
,
of
reminisce
,
of
association
,
of
happy
times
spent
together
,
of
the
fight
and
struggle
for
the
ailment
for
years
..
and
most
of
all
the
loneliness
of
them
that
are
left
behind
..
the
vacuum
..
the
emptiness
..
the
presence
that
filled
up
the
entire
home
..
lost
and
gone
.."
Giving
a
glimpse
of
her
personality,
he
further
wrote
"..
that
empty
favourite
chair
..
that
corner
of
preference
..
the
unstinted
care
and
concern
for
all
when
present
,
now
suddenly
not
in
existence
.."
Recalling
her
as
a
homemaker,
he
added,
"..
the
voice
of
the
bird
that
built
her
little
nest,
heard
no
more
..
the
delicate
nest
shedding
its
strains
of
the
making
..
the
command
the
control
the
authority
,
suddenly
absent
.."
His
post
on
the
blog
further
read,
"is
it
at
times,
the
knowledge
of
an
end
in
its
proximity.." and
continued
how
only
those
who
have
gone
know
it
and
wrote
"..
only
they
would
know
..
and
only
they
would
never
be
able
to
share!"
The
superstar
concluded
his
post
by
summing
up
what
Ritu
has
meant
to
all
of
them
-
family
and
friends.
"An
ideal
daughter
,
an
ideal
sister
,
an
ideal
wife
,
an
ideal
Mother
,
an
ideal
in-law
,
an
ideal
Mother-in-Law
,
and
an
ideal
friend
..
has
left
us
for
good
in
a
distance
we
cannot
cover
..
for
now
..
!!",
