VAIBHAVI LOVED BEING IN THE MOUNTAINS: RAJESH KUMAR
Rajesh Kumar, who played Rosesh in Sarabhai vs Sarabhai, shared, “I am unable to come to terms with this. After Sarabhai vs Sarabhai, we kept in touch. The last time we connected was two months ago over messages. She was a happy-go-lucky person, who would always be smiling. Vaibhavi loved being in the mountains and whenever I spoke to her, she would be heading on a trip to the mountains. She also had a photographic memory and could remember all the lines on the page by just looking at it. She was a very talented and beautiful soul.”
