Shubhangi Latkar shared note and video

In the video shared on Instagram, the veteran actor is seen happily singing, dancing and spending time with friends at a gathering. Along with the video, Shubhangi wrote, “Today, we have truly lost a beautiful soul and I am speechless. Ramakant Dayama was not just a dear friend and family friend to me, but someone I deeply admired and respected. Full of life, warmth and energy. He truly knew how to enjoy life despite every challenge. A brilliant dancer, a soulful singer, a brilliant actor and for me, a wise advisor whose words always hold meaning.”

She also wrote, “He may have looked small, but he was one of the strongest and most courageous people I know. Though we all knew he was unwell for many months, but somewhere in the heart, no one gives up hope. We had a lot of unfulfilled plans. After years, I really wanted to work with him again. We had decided to do a beautiful Hindi play together. When I requested him, he smiled and said, ‘Let me get well soon.’ We had also planned to present selected beautiful poems together on stage. That dream is also incomplete now.”

Concluding her note, Shubhangi said, “Some losses leave behind a silence that words fail to express. Today feels like one of those days. You will be deeply missed, Ramakant ji. Your warmth, your courage, your art and your beautiful spirit will always live on in our hearts. May your soul rest in peace.”
