Veteran actress Shammi passed away today. Amitabh Bachchan took to Twitter to share the sad news. He tweeted, "Shammi Aunty.. prolific actress, years of contribution to the industry, dear family friend..passes away..!! A long suffered illness, age..Sad..slowly slowly they all go away."

The late actress has been part of films like Coolie No 1, Khuda Gawah, Hum, Arth, The Burning Train, Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi, and of course who can forget her role in the television series Dekh Bhai Dekh!

Born in 1931, as Nargis Rabadi, Shammi ji had an elder sister, Nina Rabadi, who was a fashion designer, while her father was a priest in an Agyari (Parsi fire temple). Shammi spent nearly 64 years in the industry.

May her soul rest in peace. Our condolences to her family.
