A note posted by Aamir Khan’s production house on Instagram can be read, “We are deeply saddened to hear about our Suhani passing away. Our heartfelt condolences to her mother Poojaji, and the entire family. Such a talented young girl, such a team player, Dangal would have been incomplete without Suhani.” The note ended with, “Suhani, you will always remain a star in our hearts May you rest in peace (sic).”
According to the media reports, Suhani had suffered a leg fracture, and the medication led to a side effect which she received during the treatment.
