Maharani Gayatri Devi, an essence of beauty and courage left the earth on July 29th. She was not keeping well for some days. Among the Bollywood bigwigs, superstar Amitabh Bachchan and beautiful Priyanka Chopra sent condolence to the great soul through their social networking sites.
Big B penned down his first meeting with the eternal beauty. He wrote on his blog, “As a young student in the Delhi University I used to sneak into the Jaipur Polo ground...to watch some of the finest polo players of the country. The Maharaja of Jaipur, a great proponent of the game, would play there and accompanying him used to be his wife, the Rajmata Gayatri Devi, in her soft and pastel flowered chiffon s, a picture of grace and beauty."
He wrote further, "Never in my born days had I ever imagined that one day I would get to meet this lady. But time and circumstances changed that...After joining the movies there were many visits to the pink city of Jaipur for shootings and that is when a formal introduction with the Rajmata took place."
He remembered the days when Maharani used to invite him to inaugurate her charitable institutions. He recalled when he sent flowers to her when she was unwell and her son informed him how his mother was pleased to receive his concern.
Priyanka too used her Twitter site to pay homage to the beauty. She wrote, "RIP Maharani Gayatri Devi. U were the epitome of grace, courage and beauty.A true inspiration to millions. I am privileged to have met u."
