Shahid Kapoor & Ishaan Khatter’s maternal grandmother, Khadija Azeem, the mother of Neelima Azeem, has passed away.
Shahid’s brother Ishaan took to social media to share a heartfelt note as a tribute to her grandmother.
He wrote in an Instagram post, “Ammi.. you instilled wit, fire, knowledge, perseverance, purpose and meaning in all of us. Freedom fighter, writer, translator, editor.. sister, wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, friend, confidant – you were so many things and more. They don’t make them like you anymore. Blessed to have had you in my life. I’ll carry a small piece of your vast presence with me always. You’ll never be forgotten by anybody whose life you deeply impacted.”
The actor shared three pictures of his grandmother, a former journalist. “In the first picture on the left, my Nani – Khadija Azeem – with her sister and my grand aunt, Shahida ammi. Here she is beaming proudly at her elder grandson’s wedding reception. The second picture is her with her two children, my Mamoo and my mother. And the third is her with her favorite aunt and mom,” he wrote.

Rest in peace Ammi . U will always be in our hearts,” he wrote.
