TV Actress Manisha Yadav Of Jodha Akbar Fame Passes Away

Mumbai: TV actress Manisha Yadav, who was well known for playing the role of Salima Begum in the hit Indian TV show Jodha Akbar, has reportedly died.

The actress passed away on October 1 after suffering from a brain haemorrhage.

The news of her death was confirmed by her co-star Paridhi Sharma on Instagram who shared a picture of Manisha and wrote, "This is so heartbreaking."

Manisha Yadav leaves behind a son who had recently turned one year old in July this year.

Speaking to national media, Paridhi said, "I wasn't in constant touch with her after our show went off air. But we have a WhatsApp group which is named Mughals and all the actresses who were begums in the show are a part of that group. So that's how we stay in touch and if anything important is to be shared about anyone's life, we do that on the group. I got to know about this yesterday on the group and I was shocked."

Her on-screen son who played the role of Sultan Murad Mirza said to an entertainment portal, "It's very saddening. She was my first onscreen mother. It's hard to believe."

The actor who plays the character of Salim in the show added, "I spoke to Manisha a few months back and she seemed all fine. It's upsetting news."
