Gautam Kapoor and Divya Kapoor Sardana, MD of the hotel, said that all required arrangements for the stars attending the event had been made to complete perfection.

BM Gupta, a veteran architect of Kapurthala, expressed condolences to the family. He said that the city’s oldies still remember Pimmi Khosla for the social work she was engaged in. “Her husband DP Khosla had a leather and garment business. The family was also well-connected with the royal princes of Kapurthala,” he shared.
