TV Actress Kavitha Chaudhary Dies Of Heart Attack

TV actress Kavita Chaudhary passed away on Thursday after suffering a heart attack in Amritsar. She was 67.

Actor Anang Desai expressed his condolence over her death. He said, "I came to know this morning that Kavita is no more. She died last night. It is very sad. She was our batchmate at the National School of Drama. We studied together at NSD for three years during our training. Kavita, I, Satish Kaushik, Anupam (Kher), Govind Namdev were together in the same batch.

Kavita's close friend Suchitra Verma said that she was suffering from cancer. Speaking to India Today, she said, "When they met last year, Kavita had even informed her about chemotherapy and looked 'visibly in pain'. "I feel miserable to have lost her and never got a chance to meet her. I never knew her condition would deteriorate so much suddenly," she told IndiaToday.in.

On her Instagram, she paid her tribute: "My heart feels heavy as I share this news with you all. Last night, we lost a beacon of strength, inspiration, and grace - Kaveta Chaudhary. For those who grew up in the 70s and 80s, she was the face of the Udan series on DD and the iconic 'Surf' commercial, but to me, she was much more than that."

She claimed, "I first met Kavetaji at her humble abode in Versova for an assistant director interview. Little did I know that I was about to encounter the legend herself. As she opened her door, memories of her 'Bhaisahab' line from the Surf commercial echoed in my mind, and I couldn't help but utter it aloud. That moment marked the beginning of a bond that transcended mere friendship. She became my mentor, my guide, my spiritual guru, and above all, she became family."

Kavita Chaudhary was well known for her portrayal of IPS officer Kalyani Singh in the Doordarshan series 'Udaan'. She was the younger sister of police officer Kanchan Chaudhary Bhattacharya.

Kavita also made two more television shows - 'Your Honour' and 'IPS Diaries'.
