Bollywood's Laadli Zohra Sehgal

Umar mein kya rakha hai? Dil jawan hona chahiye! That was the slogan which Zohra Sehgal lived by! Even at 102 she knew how to have fun and live life to the fullest.

Once a doctor asked her “do you put anything on your lips?” and she replied “only kisses!”

Here’s how Bollywood reacted to their laadli's passing away:

On her 102^nd birthday this is what Zohra had to say “I am preparing myself for death. When I go to sleep, I try to keep myself smiling. So that when I die, I have a smile on my lips. I want an electric cremation. I don’t want any poem or fuss after that. And for heaven’s sake, don’t bring back my ashes! Flush them down the toilet if the crematorium refuses to keep them. If they tell you that I am dead, I want you to give a big laugh!”
