Her trembling hands clutched her daughter's photo, unable to comprehend the tragedy.
Salahuddin Lavlu said, "She messaged me a month ago, saying she wanted to return to work. I told her I wasn't working on anything at the moment but would let her know as soon as I started something new. Now, I will never be able to inform her, as she has left us too soon," the director lamented.
