Veteran Television actress Tarla Joshi, known for playing the role of Badi Beeji in daily soap 'Ek Hazaron Mein Mein Meri Behna Hai' passed away on Sunday morning. The reason behind her death is being reported as heart attack. As soon as the shocking news of her demise spread, a lot of celebrities who were her co-stars in the show including Nia Sharma, Kushal Tandon Krystle D'Souza, and Anju Mahendroo took to social media and poured condolences. They expressed their shock by sharing some throwback pictures from the shooting of the show.

Aasiya Kazi, who worked with Joshi on the popular Ekta Kapoor show "Bandini", told PTI that the actor was not keeping well when she spoke to her a few months ago. Kazi, who played the lead role as Santu on the 2009 soap opera, remembered Joshi as a gentlewoman with whom she shared a special bond. "She didn't have any health issues, there was just her age factor. I had spoken to her son as well and he told me she was doing fine.
She was a gentlewoman. We used to share a room during 'Bandini' and I had a special connection with her. I would call her once a month to check up on her health," she added.
Apart from this, she even shared a post and wrote, "Tarla ji you’ll always be our badi beeji."

Will miss you Baa… Rest in eternal peace." Nia re-tweeted the same and wrote, "Shall fondly remember her as our badi beeji always."
