The morning after Shriram Lagoo’s death, the 45-year-old actress took a nostalgic trip down memory lane and dug out photos of herself with the late actor-filmmaker from the sets of the 1980 film. Urmila Matondar was just six then. In her Instagram post, she wrote: “RIP Dr. Shriram Lagoo. Greatest actor of Marathi theatre and films but an even greater human being. He gave me my first ever break on the silver screen in his Marathi film Zaakol. Taught me about social commitment of an actor. It was sheer pleasure to watch him on stage. Will miss you always.”
