In a shocking though not unexpected turn of events, yesteryears’ box-office queen the ebullient Moushumi Chatterjee known for her dancing eyes and mischievous smile, lost her daughter Payal Dicky Sinha after a long battle to save her life. Payal took her last breath at around 2am last night.  

Payal suffered from juvenile diabetes. She had been in and out of hospital since April 2017. She was in a comatose condition last year and in April 2018, she was taken back home by her husband Dicky Sinha, but over a period of months, her parents Moushumi Chatterjee and Jayanta Mukherjee stated that her physiotherapy treatment had been stopped and they even approached the Bombay High Court over the deteriorating health of their daughter. Last year, Moushumi went through a bitter courtroom battle with her daughter’s husband and in-laws over Payal’s medical treatment and visiting rights. She accused her daughter’s in-laws of neglect and refusal to let the mother meet her daughter. Charges that they denied.

In an interview in 2017 when Moushumi’s last film Piku was released, the actress had proudly said to me, “Both my daughters are well-settled. The elder one Payal works with Disney and the younger Megha did two films but quit to become a social worker. Everyone comes with their own destiny in life.”
