In another post, he wrote, “Returning from the ‘chautha’ for our ‘samdhi’ my in-law ; and at midnight a few moments from now, shall be the 18th of January - the death Anniversary of Babu ji .. life moves on .. the flowing river .. fresh flows of water shall come by in our watchful eye .. and go past in equal presence .. short lived , rapid and followed for a while till its sights , and then await the coming stream of the current next.”

Ritu Nanda, who entered Guinness Book of Records for selling 17,000 pension policies in a single day, was also recipient of honours for her work in the field. Married to Rajan Nanda, her son Nikhil married Amitabh Bachchan’s daughter Shweta Bachchan Nanda in 1997. Ritu Nanda was the grandmother of Shweta and Nikhil’s children Navya Naveli and Agastya.
