Chandro Tomar, one of the oldest sharpshooters, died due to COVID-19 complications on Friday. Chandro, along with her sister-in-law Prakashi Tomar, held a gun for the first time after they became senior citizens and a biopic was made on them titled ‘Saand Ki Aankh’ in which Bhumi Pednekar played Chandro Tomar.

The actor paid condolence on social media.

“Devastated by the news of Chandro Dadi’s demise. Feels like a part of me is gone. She made her own rules & paved the path for many girls to find their dream. Her legacy will live on in them. Condolences to the family. Am lucky I got to know and be her. #ChandroTomar #ShooterDadi.”

Taapsee Pannu, who was seen as Prakashi Tomar shared a photo with Chandro, also posted, “For the inspiration, you will always be… You will live on forever in all the girls you gave hope to live. My cutest rockstar May the peace be with you.”
