The post from Aamir Khan Productions said, “We are very sorry to hear about our Suhani’s passing.” We send our deepest sympathies to her mother Poojaji and the whole family. Suhani is such a gifted young woman and a great team player that Dangal wouldn’t have been the same without her. You will always be a star in our hearts, Suhani. I hope you find comfort while you slumber.”
Suhani rose to prominence in 2016 for her performance in the film Dangal, costarring Aamir Khan, Sakshi Tanwar, and Zaira Wasim. She made a few appearances in advertisements after her role in the movie. According to some sources, she overreacted to medication after an accident, which resulted in fluid buildup throughout her body.
