SADHNA: RIP

Sadhana married her Love in Simla director Ram Krishna Nayyar on 7 March 1966. Their love blossomed on the film set. But as she was very young then, her parents opposed it. They were married for nearly thirty years, until his death in 1995 from asthma. The couple had no children. She suffered from a disorder of her eyes due to hyper thyroidism. After her retirement, she has refused to be photographed simply because she wants to be remembered the way she was. Living in Santacruz, Mumbai, she rented an apartment building owned by singer Asha Bhosle. In 2013, she stated that she did not keep in touch with her cousin Babita but did with actresses Asha Parekh, Waheeda Rehman, Nanda (who died in 2014),
