Actor Bharti Jaffery, daughter of cinema icon Ashok Kumar, has died, her son-in-law and actor Kanwaljit Singh confirmed.

In a social media post, Singh, who is married to Jaffery’s actor-daughter Anuradha Patel, said the veteran passed away on Tuesday.

“Our beloved Bharti Jaffery, daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, neighbour, friend and inspiration has departed today 20 Sep (sic),” Singh wrote on Instagram as he shared pictures with Jaffery.

The cause of her death and age could not be immediately confirmed.

Jaffery’s film credits included the 2001 Kalpana Lajmi directorial ‘Daman: A Victim of Marital Violence’, starring Raveena Tandon, and the popular 1990s TV show ‘Saans’, in which she starred with Neena Gupta and son-in-law Singh.

In his post, Singh said Jaffery was cremated at Cherai crematorium, Chembur Camp, here.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
