Kriti shared a memorable picture from the movie Teri Baaton Mein Uljha Jiya, stating, “It’s the end of an era! But you’ll stay alive not only in all the incredible work you’ve done Dharam Ji… but also in the warmth and kindness you carried in your aura. Your smile, your warmth, your zest for life and poetry, and the love with which you put a hand on my head and blessed me every time I interacted with you… I’ll carry it in my heart forever. Rest in peace, Legend!!” She included a folding hands emoticon to emphasize her sentiments.
