The tweets reads, “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. Suhani, you will always remain a star in our hearts. May you rest in peace.”

Nitesh Tiwari, who directed Dangal, expressed his shock. He said, “Suhani’s passing away is absolutely shocking and heartbreaking. She was such a happy soul, so full of life. My deepest condolences to her family.”

Suhani’s performance as young Babita Phogat was loved by the audiences. The box office hit film also starred Sanya Malhotra, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Zaira Wasim, Sakshi Tanwar, Aparshakti Khurana, and Girish Kulkarni.

Reportedly, Suhani had an accident, which resulted in a fracture in her leg. The medications that she took during the treatment had a side effect, resulting in fluid accumulation in her body. She was admitted to Delhi’s AIIMS hospital. As per reports, Suhani will be cremated at the Ajronda crematorium in Sector 15, Faridabad.
