MUMBAI: Ridhi Dogra is a popular TV actress who has been part of several shows. She is known for her portrayal of Priya in Maryada: Lekin Kab Tak, Savitri in Savitri, Aditi in Diya Aur Baati Hum, and Nisha in Woh Apna Sa. She has also participated in the adventure reality show, Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi.

Ridhi is deeply saddened by the demise of former Finance Minister Arun Jaitely. She took to her social media handle and shared a picture of Arun Jaitely and wrote a heart-touching note for the late former Finance Minister.

The actress was related to Arun Jaitely by his wife Sangeeta Jaitely, who is Ridhi’s paternal aunt. Ridhi took to her Instagram to express her grief and penned down a heartfelt post for her uncle. Ridhi’s post read, “How's your work going beta? What's new in your industry these days?' He would always ask me. And I would always feel short of words because I knew I would not know a patch of what he did about my industry but still he had this great quality to make everyone he spoke to, feel important to his time.

He is indeed a huge loss to the nation. But his loss to our family is deeper. A void never to be filled. I have grown up around him and buji, played innumerable times with Sonali and Rohan, in his office when he was a lawyer. I remember him as someone always working hard, dedicated and so focused. His knowledge and sharp insight into everything was tremendous and in-depth. He loved the company of children and the youth and always wanted to hear how our lives were going and how we saw our future. It used to be mesmerizing to sit in the same room as him and hear him talk as he would have everyone engaged and in splits with his anecdotes and stories one after another from his incredible life. He exemplified a high standard of ethics, ideologies and value system which I have learnt and try to imbibe in my work and life. I will always remember him with a warm prayer, immense gratitude and love. I truly believe legends live on forever and he truly will. My heart is always with you buji, Sonali and Rohan. I know you are resting in peace fufaji. Warmest prayers for you now and always.”
