Actor Dr Sethuraman’s wife, Uma Sethuraman remembered her late husband in a very emotional post on his sixth death anniversary. She shared a heart-wrenching incident about how her life has moved on over the years, but her love for him has not changed even a little.
Daughter’s painful question
Uma shared a moment with their daughter, Sahana, that broke her heart. She wrote, “Another year has passed. It's 26th March 2026. That month of the year that you last breathed.”
She said this was the first time Sahana spoke about her father. One night, the little girl cried and asked, “Amma why does everyone have two people at home as family and why do I have only one person?”
Uma tried to explain that every family is different. But Sahana replied, “But that's different Amma... we had an appa and he is dead. He can't come back.” Uma said she had no words and just hugged her tightly.
Living with Sethuraman’s memories
Uma shared that her daughter never really asked how it all happened or said she missed her father. But she knows his presence would have made her childhood better. She wrote, “No regrets to something that we can't get back.” Still, the family keeps hope alive. She said, “We only wish that someday you will come back to us @dr_sethu.
Keeping our doors and hearts open.”
Love for Sethuraman that never ends
Uma ended her note with deep feelings. She said she still feels his love every day. She also wondered how she stayed strong all these years. “When I look back and think why I didn't go through sleepless nights for months, why didn't I feel depressed, how could I just eat normally, sleep normally, How could I work long hours, why don't I remember when I cried last. I know why. Ma ..... I know you are watching us each day. You are taking us through every moment. You are there at every decision. You are the light when the way ahead is a dark path. I still feel your love. I still love you. I still feel your heartbeat right next to mine. Nothing has changed in these six years. I only feel more attached to you. My heart beats for you and only you today and forever,” she wrote.
Sethuraman is known for films like ‘Kanna Laddu Thinna Aasaiya’ and ‘Sakka Podu Podu Raja’.
