”I am devastated after hearing the news. I am not able to come to terms with the news. She was shooting with us till 7 pm yesterday. Reemaji was in such a good mood as we all were shooting for the sangeet ceremony. She had a bad throat so was not able to talk much. Life is so unpredictable.”
Mahesh Bhatt, who has helmed Naamkaran, expressed his condolences says,
”I am going to Reema ji’s residence right now. The body has just been brought. We said goodbye to one another over the phone with a promise to meet again. Sad that did not happen. I thought we had time. I was wrong.”

When a leading entertainment portal contacted Barkha, she told,
”It still hasn’t sunk in. We were working together and I loved her. She was a no-nonsense person, very straightforward and I loved that about her. She was funny and lively, she would get poha for me from her house. She would always guide me when I was in doubt and I have learnt so much from her and even though we might not always have been in touch. I will miss her deeply.”
Child artist Arsheen who played Avni (chile actress) in the show told,
”I am shocked. Mom woke me up with this news. She called me the day I received the award in star Parivaar last week. Congratulating. Also last month she came to my place on 30th we partied. No one can replace her . She used to call me pillu and I will really miss that. Since morning me and mumma are crying. No one can replace her in my life. I love her so much.”
