Remembering Hira, the actress wrote, "I am saddened to hear about the sudden demise of media baron Mr Nari Hira, the founder of Magna Publishing. He has been extremely kind and supportive. He was a well wisher and always supported young talents from the film industry. I have been featured in many cover stories of Stardust magazine and even won awards at Stardust and Society Achievers Awards. He was very fond of me, and respected me always. My sincere condolences to his family, may his soul rest in peace."
