Supriya Pens Heartfelt Note For Late Ajit Pawar
In her heartfelt note addressed to ‘Dada’, Sule said this Raksha Bandhan felt different as Ajit was no longer with the family. She recalled the shock of his sudden death and said she still finds it difficult to believe that he is gone. “Today is Raksha Bandhan… but this time, you’re not with us, and this realisation is making my heart deeply restless,” Sule wrote. Recalling their childhood, she spoke about their fights, affection and the pride they shared in each other. She said their bond had been built through the years they spent growing up together. Sule also expressed how she still feels that Ajit could suddenly return, allowing her to tie the rakhi on him and spend time laughing and talking with his sisters and family. “The void created by your absence can never be filled,” she wrote, adding that she hoped his love and blessings would always remain with her.
