She was truly a legend. As a child I used to watch Phool Khile Hain Gulshan Gulshan, where Tabassum ji was the spectacular host. I don’t remember her guests. Just her. With her nasal twang and the rose tucked behind her ear! May her soul rest in peace.

The pioneer of talk shows. An amazingly versatile and erudite lady who was active till the very end. She was a close friend of my father, as they started their careers together as child actors. Our dearest Tabassum aunty has passed on to her heavenly abode.

Phool Khile Hain Gulshan-Gulshan was the first celebrity chat show that I remember, and the affable Tabassum ji was always such a delight to watch. May her soul rest in peace.

No words can do justice to your voice and ever-smiling personality. Never saw her sad. Always full of positive energy, which she used to spread around. Will miss you #Tabassum ji.
