Mumbai, March 11 (NationPress) Actress Tisca Chopra is in deep sorrow following the passing of her mother, Pammi Arora. On Wednesday, she took to Instagram to share a collection of heartfelt photos featuring herself, her beloved mother, and her father.

In her emotional caption, Tisca reflected on her mother’s unique philosophy of life. She expressed, “On the 7th of March, we bid farewell to my mother, Pammi Arora. Those fortunate enough to know her cherished her wholeheartedly. The reason was straightforward; she embodied such a light spirit. Seriousness struggled to find a place around her. When faced with a problem, she would simply say, ‘Mitti pao’. Just throw some earth over it and move on. Life was too vibrant to waste on grievances. Her smile was like the moon breaking through clouds, and she always preferred laughter over criticism.”

Tisca revealed that her mother instilled in her the belief that kindness reigns supreme. She shared, “From her, I absorbed one of the most valuable lessons of life: ‘You already have a ‘no’ in your pocket. Now go out and secure a ‘yes’.’ This was quintessential Pammi Arora—practical optimism with a spark in her eye. She also bestowed upon me the artistic flair that has shaped my life: the urge to perform, to narrate stories, and to embrace color and expression over monotonous routines.”

She further elaborated, “This zest for life is something I hope will carry forward to Tara. To the outside world, she was known as ‘Arora Ma’am’. To countless children, she was the teacher who possessed a childlike spirit. She transformed school into a lighter, softer space that felt like home. Many of her former students returned as parents, proudly bringing their children to the same beloved teacher who had once embraced them. This is a rare legacy. At home, she was both gentle and unyielding when necessary. Even when faced with cancer and a fractured hip, she stood resolute. In the ICU, her Punjabi shoulders danced to the rhythm of a song.”

“Her enchanting charm made you forget the burdens she carried. I was blessed to grow up enveloped in her warmth and equally fortunate to inherit a bit of that tenacity that refuses to surrender to life. Pammi Arora was an extraordinary and beautiful soul. If she could comment on this solemn moment, she would likely say, ‘Bas, ab mitti pao’. Thus, we will smile through our tears, cherish the laughter, and carry her spirit forward. The truth remains: those who knew her adored her, and those who loved her will forever hold her close,” she concluded.
