Earlier, while recounting the memories with Nanda Tai, Banu took to her Instagram and shared a long note with a throwback picture. A part of her note reads, "As time passed, I felt very comfortable in Nanda Taai's company for she was not âput-on" or pretentious in any way. We started to meet in our respective homes, she became very fond of my mother, grandmother and I was drawn towards "Sushila Aaiee" (Nanda Taai's Mother) who like my own mother had given it all to bring up her family single-handedly.
The actress also wrote, "My home Mashallah has been synonymous with good Desi Cuisine and I discovered that both our families were fond of eating. At festivals we visited each other and Sushila Aaiee gave beautiful hand-made gifts to me. I still treasure a little hand-bag made of green beads and small sequins boxes filled with Sankranti sweets with a note "Til Gud Khawa Ani God God Bola". It was evident that Sushila Aaiee treated me as a daughter."
