Ramakant Daima 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 spotenious dancer, a soulful singer, a brilliant actor, and for me, a wise advisor whose words always carried meaning.

He may have looked tiny in appearance, but he was one of the strongest and most courageous people I have known.

Though we all knew he had been unwell for many months, somewhere in the heart, one never stops hoping. We had so many unfinished plans. After years, I truly wished 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 even planned to present selected beautiful poems together on stage. That dream, too, now remains unfinished…

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 remain alive in our hearts. May your soul rest in peace,” Shubhangi shared.

The cause of the veteran actor's untimely demise is still unknown at the moment. However, Fans and close ones from the industry have paid tribute to him and shared their condolences with his family members.
