Aneet Padda bids an emotional goodbye to her grandfather. The Saiyaara actor shared a monochromatic photo to remember him. It features a close up of her holding her grandfather’s hand. She had once shared that her grandfather was battling Alzheimer’s.
Aneet wrote, “The only love of my life. You were drifting away, but you didn’t forget makhan. You held on to love, even when you couldn’t hold on to memory. I will hold on to both. I will carry all our years together. I will be a good person. I will carry your jokes and repeat them every chance I get. I will carry your kindness and your light into every dark room. I will carry your stories and tell them to the world. I will carry your love, you taught me the purest, most unconditional kind.”
She further added, “I will carry you. I spotted the brightest star in the sky today, and I knew where you went. I love you. I love you. I love you, Dadu. I love you so much. Always, beyond what time can hold.”
Speaking about her grandfather’s Alzheimer’s disease, while sharing about her preparation for playing an Alzheimer’s patient in Saiyaara, Aneet told The Hollywood Reporter India, “My dadu has Alzheimer’s disease, which is why the film felt even more emotional to me. He has reached a stage where he cannot remember most things, but I believed in this film because it says ‘dimaag bhool jaata hai par dil kabhi nahi bhoolta (the mind forgets but the heart does not)’, and that’s very true for my dadu. He doesn’t remember my name; he doesn’t remember much, but he calls me Heeraput, or Makkhan.”
On the professional front, Aneet is currently filming Maddock Horror Comedy Universe’ Shakti Shalini.
