Prime Minister Narendra Modi Thursday condoled the death of cinema and theatre veteran Zohra Sehgal, calling her "prolific and full of life".
"Prolific & full of life, Zohra Sehgal made a mark through her acting, which is admired across generations. Saddened on her demise," Modi tweeted.
Zohra was 102. She breathed her last here following a cardiac arrest 4.30 p.m. Thursday, a family member said.
A heart patient, she was admitted to the Max Hospital in south Delhi's Saket area after being diagnosed with pneumonia Wednesday.
