A very strong lady who fought till the end and never gave up on her work... In the past few months with her health deteriorating she watched the movies on a wheel chair and reviewed them until last week...
May god give strength to her family to deal with the loss...
RIP

The writer has posted comments on this articleIANS | Jan 21, 2012, 05.23PM IST

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan remembers late film critic Nikhat Kazmi as a "generous" person and a "genuine lover" of film, who was never harsh in her reviews.

A senior film critic, Nikhat, 53, passed away Friday after battling breast cancer.

"Nikhat Kazmi, a generous film critic from the Times of India stable, has passed away after a long struggle with cancer. A buoyant demeanor and a genuine lover of film, she was never too harsh in her assessments and comment," Amitabh wrote on bigb.bigadda.com.

"She was also rather liberal with the stars that she assigned to the ratings of the films released and in general was a much loved person in the community. Our prayers and condolences," he added.
