In a tragic turn of events, veteran actress and singer Sulakshana Pandit passed away at the age of 71 on November 6, 2025, due to cardiac arrest while she was on her way to the hospital.
Sulakshana is considered a veteran star in the film industry, but she has been away from the spotlight since the death of Sanjeev Kumar, whom she held deep love for. This may surprise you, but Sulakshana and Sanjeev both passed away on the exact same date, and there is a more heartbreaking story behind it.
Sanjeev Kumar had delivered some of the finest performances in Indian cinema. He was popular for his roles in films such as Uljhan, Anamika, Aandhi, Koshish, and Sholay, where he portrayed the famous character of Thakur, among others.
In the 1975 film Uljhan, Sanjeev shared the screen with Sulakshana Pandit, who fell in love with the Sholay star during filming. However, they never got into a relationship. Sulakshana reportedly took Sanjeev to the temple, but he refused to get married, which broke the actress’ heart.
As per IndiaTV, Sanjeev Kumar cited health reasons for the refusal. Despite the rejection, Sulakshana continued to shower her love for Sanjeev and never stopped caring for him.
