Losing a loved one can be devastating. Though many companies provide bereavement leave, it is only for three to five days. Grief is the strongest emotion a human experience, and there is no standard time to cope with it. While some of us know how to deal with the loss, many of us struggle to bounce back at work because of the feeling of gut-wrenching loss. However, the Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi actress, Ketki Dave left her friends and family in utter shock when she returned to work just two days after losing her husband, Rasik Dave, due to a prolonged disease.
The late actor, Rasik is known for appearing in Hindi films and shows like Aisi Deewangi Dekhi Nahi Kahin, Savdhaan India: India Fights Back and many more. The 65-year-old actor was on dialysis for the last two years before he lost his life to kidney failure on July 29, 2022. For the unversed, Ketki and her late husband, Rasik were married for 40 years.
