Still trying to process this unreal news....Travel on into the light my dearest, sweetest Seher. The unpredictable, ghastly shortness of life remains baffling...Await to meet you on the other side. pic.twitter.com/18jnHvytTL I don’t believe it, unfair parting with a kind soul and real friend. Goodbye Seher, I hope there is another side. https://t.co/S93m6wXQu5 There are no words. Seher Latif is no more. This is cruelty. So young, so much to give. Can’t even utter RIP. We spoke only two weeks ago, I teased her & she laughed.. It is unimaginable that we won’t see her wide smile anymore. I can’t fathom this. No, not @smwhtlatelatif pic.twitter.com/X81CQYO6DX Seher Latif. A kind, brilliant, empathetic artist, casting director, producer, human being. A rare friend. First person to give me a job during difficult first years in Bombay. An inspiring leader. Unable to process this. World cinema lost a great one. See you on the other side.
