Veteran actor Navnindra Behl has passed away at the age of 76. Her son and filmmaker Kanu Behl confirmed the news with an emotional post. Nakuul Mehta, her Ishqbaaz co-star, has also penned an emotional tribute recalling his sweet memories with Navnindra and their bond.
Nakuul took to Instagram and shared some photos with the late veteran actor from their time on Ishqbaaz set and penned a long note recalling their sweet behind-the-scenes memories.
He wrote, 'The beauty of long-running television shows is that they sometimes give you the opportunity to spend time with people who may have existed in worlds very different from yours until then...and then, almost magically, they end up shaping a significant part of who you were during those years.'
Talking about the bond they shared during the shoot of Ishqbaaz, Nakuul wrote, 'We spent so many days sharing a set floor and many lunches over the three years we worked together on Ishqbaaaz.'
Nakuul revealed that despite talking up multiple hats of director, writer, and producer, Navnindra never brought that heft onto the set and was the lightest co-star to work with.
He concluded, 'Those drives are some of my fondest memories of her. She'd be excited about writing back to every audience member who messaged her on Instagram (she embraced technology). We kept in touch over the years much after the show ended.'
Navnindra's son and filmmaker Kanu Behl confirmed the sad news on social media but didn't reveal the reason for her death. The actor was 76 when she breathed her last.
