My first and greatest love. Thank you for choosing me."
A few hours ago, Mallika Dua took to her IG handle to share a heartbreaking note for her mother, Padmavati Dua. Along with the note, she had shared a picture of her family in which they can be seen performing the ritual of immersing the ashes. Mallika bid farewell to her mother and wished that she is happy with her paati. She wrote, "Bye my Chinna. My sweet girl. My first and greatest love. The weather was just perfect. You sent the best breeze, it was green, the sun was there but warm and lovely. It’s where I picture you are right now. With paati. She is making you filter coffee and muruku and you are chilling. In a really beautiful place and very very happy."
At the same time, Mallika also shared that just like her mother, she would also live happily and promised her mother to live a life of love and integrity. The doting daughter added, "That’s how I will live too. Just like you. With courage, grace, boundless kindness and above all, joy. I promise to love myself no less than you love me, I promise to help everyone I can and I promise to be happy because how dare I dishonour your legacy. My mama is god. And god is always looking out for me. I promise I will live a good life with integrity and love. Promise my mama."
