Renowned filmmaker Kalpana Lajmi died Sunday morning at the age of 64. Lajmi, a director, producer and screenwriter, was known for films like Rudaali, Daman and Darmiyaan.
Soni Razdan, who was close to Kalpana, was one of the first to break the news. She shared a picture of herself with Kalpana on Instagram, saying “My dear darling Kalpan has passed on into another world. I will miss her strong energetic voice, her incredible drive to create, even after she got so sick, her laughter that was always so full of real joy and her wonderful sense of humour. Most of all I will miss my movie partner. Almost every Friday or Saturday we would go see the latest film running in town. I can’t believe you’re gone Kalpana. RIP sweetheart ❤️”
