In an interview with the Bombay Times, Ketki Dave mentioned that her life would never be the same without her loving husband, Rasik Dave. She mentioned that since Rasik was a very private person, he never wanted to share about his deteriorating health. Talking about her husband's positive spirit, she said:
"Rasik never wanted to talk about his illness. So, we never shared about his deteriorating health with anyone. He was a very private person and believed that all will be fine. But, deep down, we knew somewhere that he was not well. In the last few days, he told me how I should continue working always. I was supposed to open a play and I told him I was not in the state of mind to work, but he kept saying that the show must go on and I should never stop working. Even when he was unwell, he kept saying that all will be fine and I should not lose hope. Today, I am managing everything bravely because he was by my side all this time. I have my family members, my mother, my children, my mother-in-law and they are all my biggest support, but I miss my husband very much."
Further, in the same conversation, the actress shared how her mother, Sarita Joshi was her strength during the last two years when Rasik was taken for dialysis. She said that she would miss her husband at every point of her life and added:
"When Rasik was diagnosed with kidney ailment, I broke down. My mother has been my constant and biggest support. She always tells me how one can be in grief, but sorrow should not overcome you. Life has to be lived on its terms and whatever challenges you face, have to be dealt with bravely. Each time I would break down, my mother would say get up and face it, you can't give up. I am trying to do that today. But life will never be the same again. I will miss Rasik at every point in my life. I have my family members - mother, mother-in-law and children but his absence will always be felt."

Finally, she walked down the memory lane and revealed the time when they had met for the first time in 1979 on the sets of a play. Revealing her husband's humble nature, Ketki concluded:
"We instantly liked each other. As we worked together in plays and TV shows, we fell in love and got married in 1983. Rasik was a very down-to-earth, stable and somebody who believed in living life to the fullest. He would never get bogged down by things and would always motivate me to face the ups and downs of life. Even if we had fights, they were healthy because we would work towards resolving them. I can say that 40 years of marriage with Rasik went by happily because he was someone who believed that life has to be lived well."
Our heartfelt condolences are with Ketki Dave and her kids!
