Actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha on Wednesday said he was deeply saddened by the sudden demise of “dear family friend” Sushma Swaraj with whom he had a long association.
Sinha, who quit the BJP to join the Congress on the eve of 2019 general elections, fondly remembered his relationship with Sushma, former external affairs minister, who passed away Tuesday night in Delhi. “My association with her started when I was not in BJP. When I became a member of the BJP, the bond deepened,” he told PTI. “She was a dear family friend for me,” Sinha said expressing shock at her untimely death.
He described the veteran leader as a “lady of strength who displayed rare quality of professionalism with a human touch.”
