Talking about the tragic death of her daughter, who passed away at the age of 64, Lalitha said, 'She had to undergo regular dialysis. Aamir Khan was the first person to offer help. He sent cheques directly into her account. Some other directors also contributed.' Thanking everyone who stood by her during the hour of need she added, 'Soni Razdan and Alia Bhatt paid for her dialysis till the very end. They were extremely close to Kalpana. In fact, Alia was born in front of her. I am deeply grateful to all those who helped. There were other expenses, too. Thankfully, her medical insurance was of great help.'

All of them have come forward and helped me during my worst. It is a financially draining and a continuous lifelong process.'
