The actress’ ongoing show, Star Bharat’s Nimki Mukhiya, saw her as grandmother Imarti Devi. She was also known for playing important supporting roles in movies like
_Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, Kya Kehna, Dil Vil Pyar Vyar_ and _Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon_ , apart from having extensive appearances on the small screen. Here is what the celebrities had to say:
#RitaBhaduri was one of the finest actresses that #FTII gave us. I had the honour of working with her in Ghar Ho to Aisa, Beta & Viraasat & I'm really saddened to hear about her passing...She will be dearly missed by her friends, family & fans...

#RitaBhaduri was affectionate, helpful, jovial, bright and full of life. It is sad and unfortunate that we sum up a person only when he or she is gone. I wish we met more often. We have lost a very fine actress and a brand ambassador/alumni of @FTIIOfficial. Om Shanti.🙏🙏 pic.twitter.com/8V8lwMjHSX
