She was quoted by the leading daily as saying, "In the last few days, he told me how I should continue working always. I was supposed to open a play and I told him I was not in the state of mind to work, but he kept saying that the show must go on and I should never stop working. Even when he was unwell, he kept saying that all will be fine and I should not lose hope. Today, I am managing everything bravely because he was by my side all this time. I have my family members, my mother, my children, my mother-in-law and they are all my biggest support, but I miss my husband very much."

Ketki said, "When Rasik was diagnosed with kidney ailment, I broke down. My mother has been my constant and biggest support. She always tells me how one can be in grief, but sorrow should not overcome you. Life has to be lived on its terms and whatever challenges you face, have to be dealt with bravely. Each time I would break down, my mother would say get up and face it, you can't give up. I am trying to do that today. But life will never be the same again. I will miss Rasik at every point in my life. I have my family members - mother, mother-in-law and children but his absence will always be felt."

Recalling the time when they first met in 1979, she said that they instantly liked each other. She revealed that as they worked together in plays and TV shows, they fell in love and got married in 1983. She said that Rasik was a very down-to-earth, stable and somebody who believed in living life to the fullest. She added that he would never get bogged down by things and would always motivate her to face the ups and downs of life.
