From a bereaved daughter
Celina Jaitly’s mother Meeta Jaitly breathed her last after battling with cancer on June 8 in Lucknow. The actress shared the unfortunate news on her Facebook and penned an emotional letter describing how her mother bravely fought the deadly disease.
She wrote, “A thousand tears could not bring you back, I know, because I cried...A thousand words could not bring you back I know, because I tried...Our most beloved, gorgeous and stunning mother, Meeta Jaitly left us yesterday on the 8th of June 2018 (Lucknow) to join her soulmate and beloved husband Colonel Vikram Kumar Jaitly just 11 months after his tragic and untimely demise.”
She further wrote, “A brave army wife, a professor of literature, an entrepreneur, former beauty queen and most beloved grandmother. She fought a case of a serious form of galloping cancer bravely until her last breath like a true infantry wife before succumbing to the disease in our arms yesterday. She is mourned by her entire family and the grief has been unbearable for myself and my brother Vikrant Kumar Jaitly, her mother Usha Francis and brothers Ameet Francis, Gautam Francis, sister Asha Asthana, son-in-law Peter Haag, daughter-in-law Charul Chaturvedi Jaitly, sisters-in-law Emma and Avantika Francis, nieces, nephews and her most beloved grandsons Winston, Viraaj and Arthur.”
