“My Mum and Bappi uncle were childhood friends from Calcutta. It’s a personal loss for our family… My mother is devastated.”
She added: “While the whole world mourns his loss, I can’t help but think of all the memories I have of him from my childhood. Will miss him dearly.

He went too soon. Bappi uncle rests in peace. The heavens have earned an angel today!”
