Dhimant Thakkar (in photograph): She led a secluded life, not out of compulsion, but out of pleasure. She enjoyed it.

Amee Shah: She was healthy. She did not believe in exercise. She did not like medicines. She rarely visited a doctor. She didn't like doctors. When her mother died she believed the doctors didn't do enough to save her.

She was never hospitalised till the last month of her life.

Camy Sanghvi: Her blood sugar had gone down and she was feeling dizzy. She went into a coma and we took her to hospital. She recovered after a few days and came back home. Three days later, she again went into a coma. She was in hospital for five days. She never recovered.
