Late Actress Sridevis English Vinglish sister Sujata Kumar Passes Away

Actress Sujata Kumar, who played legendary late actress Sridevi’s sibling in ‘English Vinglish’ passed away on the late hours of Sunday night after succumbing to cancer. She was suffering from the fourth stage of cancer and was admitted in Mumbai’s Lilavati hospital. Her condition deteriorated and it was reported that she had multiple organ failure.

The death news of Sujata was confirmed by her sister, actor and singer Suchitra Krishnamoorthi. She tweeted, “Our beloved Sujata Kumar has passed away and moved on to a better place leaving us with an unimaginable void. She left us an hour ago at 11.26 pm on the 19th of august 2018..Life can never be the same again...”

Suchitra further shared that the late actress will be cremated at the Juhu Crematorium. Her post read, “We are bidding our last farewell to Sujata Kumar at Juhu Crematorium, Vile Parle west, near Pavan Hans today 20th august 2018 at 11 am."

A few days ago, Suchitra had informed her followers that her sister was in the ICU and was fighting for her life. Along with a photo of her sister, she wrote, “It feels like somebody’s plunged a hard cold knife into my heart & ripped the ground from under my feet as I sit outside ICU & pray for my big sis my mother my best friend my darling Sujata Kumar as she battles for her life inside. Pls join me & my family in r prayers for her.”

Though Sujata had worked in a couple of films earlier like ‘Raanjhanaa’ and ‘Guzaarish’ but it was only after ‘English Vinglish’ that the actor rose to fame. Later, she appeared in TV shows such as Anil Kapoor’s ‘24’. Indiaglitz family extends our deepest condolences to the family and prays for the departed soul to rest in peace.
