Veteran actor Dipankar De ‘mentally broken’ after daughter’s demise

Tollywood is in mourning after the untimely death of Vaishali Kuriakose, who was the eldest daughter of renowned Bengali actor Dipankar De. She was 52 years old. Vaishali was admitted to a private medical facility located near EM Bypass in Kolkata, where she ultimately passed away. The news was shared with the public by her father, Dipankar De, who confirmed the tragic news to media outlets on Thursday morning.

Vaishali had been struggling with a series of health complications, specifically related to her kidneys and heart. According to reports, she was hospitalized last Wednesday night due to the severity of her condition. Unfortunately, her health deteriorated rapidly, and she suffered a massive heart attack that same night, leading to her untimely demise. Her father, visibly distraught, revealed that this sudden cardiac event has snatched his daughter away from him forever.

Vaishali Kuriakose had a professional connection to the world of entertainment, much like her father and mother. She was married to Anil Kuriakose, who is also a part of the entertainment sector. The couple, both deeply entrenched in the industry, had been balancing their personal and professional lives. The emotional toll of Vaishali's passing is immeasurable, especially for her family.

Dolon Roy, Dipankar De's wife and also a prominent actress in the Bengali entertainment industry, spoke to reporters about the devastating impact the loss has had on her husband. According to Roy, Dipankar De is "mentally broken" following the loss of his daughter. Despite her own busy shooting schedule, Dolon Roy took time to visit the hospital to be with Vaishali one last time, accompanied by her grief-stricken husband.

The death of Vaishali Kuriakose has struck a somber chord in the entertainment community, leaving family, friends, and industry colleagues grappling with the tragedy. She leaves behind not just her family but also a professional sphere that is now dimmed by her absence. The lasting impression she has left on her loved ones and the entertainment fraternity in Kolkata will undoubtedly be remembered for years to come.
