Manisha Yadav, known for playing the role of Salima Begum in Jodha Akbar, died on October 1st after suffering a brain hemorrhage. Her sudden death comes as a shock to the Tamil actor’s community.

She tweeted about her first COVID-19 vaccination on June 23rd:

Actor Ravi Bhatia who plays Salim in the show said:

“I spoke to Manisha a few months back and she seemed all fine. It’s upsetting news.”

Another actress, Paridhi, told Times of India:

“I wasn’t in constant touch with her after our show went off the air. But we have a WhatsApp group which is named Mughals and all the actresses who were begums in the show are a part of that group. So that’s how we stay in touch and if anything important is to be shared about anyone’s life, we do that in the group. I got to know about this yesterday in the group chat and I was shocked.”
