Sexy and svelte Nikita Dutta is the favourite among newsmakers these days.

First, her unfortunate illness, later premature ending of her show (Ek Duje Ke Vaaste) and finally rumours of her being in Bigg Boss season 2. Nikita has hit headlines every now and then.

Now, we have learnt that she is bereaved, nursing her emotional wounds.

Yes, the actress lost her nana (grandfather) yesterday due to old age. She was close to him and he was her ‘inspiration’.

She took to social media to share her feelings:

You spoke with zeal n vigor. Your strength n great persona has always inspired me to stand undeterred. May your soul Rest In Peace nana. pic.twitter.com/yRApgS3VoX
