The close friend also paid the late actor a heartfelt tribute on Instagram and wrote, “My heart feels heavy as I share this news with you all. Last night, we lost a beacon of strength, inspiration, and grace – Kaveta Chaudhary. For those who grew up in the 70s and 80s, she was the face of the Udan series on DD and the iconic ‘Surf’ commercial, but to me, she was much more than that (sic).”
Kavita was a natural performer, bringing to light the best of emotions and perfection in her portrayal.
