Filmmaker Tushar Hiranandani, who was at the helm of the biopic of the shooter grandmothers, is shocked at the news of the sudden demise of Chandro Tomar and cannot forget her childlike smile. "She was so agile; kept smiling all the time and walked faster than all of us! I just can't believe this has happened. She was a true legend..It is a very sad day for all of us who knew her. Her smile and her spirit will always live on. Our prayers are with the family''.
