Remembering Madhu’s artistic legacy

Being a daughter of an ace photographer Respected R.R. Prabhu whom whenever I met blessed me with his artistic smile and graceful gesture. You have very well followed his footsteps and protected his legacy with your talent as a brilliant actress and a superb fashion designer. Have shared great moments with you when you played important characters in my one act plays which I directed in your college (SNDT Juhu)."

A love story and enduring bond

“My dear friend Satish Shah saw your performance at the Intercollegiate competition and was dam impressed with your award-winning performance. Aur uske baad ek love story ki shuruaat ho gayi which took shape into a mast Jodi ….You and Satish were a symbol of grace, dignity, humour, oneness, masti", he added.

Fond memories and a promise to return

He concluded the post, “You and Satish have created lots of nice people around you who will always be with you with their affection towards you. Still remember your tiffin which you used to send for all of us with Satish on the sets of 'Filmi Chakkar' which Satish used to eat all by himself and not allow us to eat. I refuse to accept that you are not well. For me you are the same lovable person. Common let’s do a play together & I promise you will again bag the best actress award because I don’t find anyone better than you … I am sure Satish will clap from up there and will be proud of you …Will plan the schedule and let you know. Stay blessed."
