“Lost a guiding light today. She was more than a mother, she was an inspiration. Her strength, courage, and passion in building her saree business empowered so many girls to dream big. She will always live on through the lives she touched and the paths she paved. Prayers and strength to you Satya. May her inspiring soul give you courage.”
Another Instagram user expressed,
