After the shoot she went to her hometown in Aligarh because of the lockdown."

He further added, "She (Sarahan) was bright, brilliant, helpful and excellent at her job. She messaged me on my mother's birthday to wish mom from her side. I called her and spoke to her and passed mom's blessings to her. She sounded absolutely fine. And today I got a message (4th pic) from her phone which really shook me and saddened me deeply. Spoke to her shattered mother."
