Divyanka Tripathi Recalls Struggling To Accept The News
In the caption, Divyanka Tripathi revealed that she and Vivek Dahiya struggled to accept the tragic news. She revealed that even as they took refuge at a friend’s home, they kept hoping and praying that somehow it wasn’t true. The actress stated that as Diwali arrived, electricity was gradually restored and the gas supply and lifts were reinstated the day after Diwali, following diligent safety checks; however, “normalcy didn’t return with them.” She penned that their entire wing had come to a standstill, and not merely because of the infrastructural damage. Divyanka expressed that the fire dimmed the lights of their home that Diwali, adding, “The loss of a precious life left a darkness in our hearts that no amount of light can undo.” She further shared that it has taken them time to even find the words to speak about that night. The actress stated that he was never just the guard of their building but a part of their everyday lives, someone they trusted, someone they had imagined in their children’s tomorrows. She wrote that they will miss him deeply and that when their kids are old enough, they will tell them about the kind man who welcomed them home with his blessings, who was indispensable in their everyday life and that they should never take anyone’s presence for granted. She ended the caption with, “May your soul rest in peace.”
