“The whole team of doctors, brothers and nurses headed by Dr Tarang Gianchandani treated my husband like he was their own- they advised us like we were their own,” wrote Neetu.

On Saturday, Neetu had posted a heartbreaking farewell message for her husband along with a picture of Rishi holding a drink in his hand and smiling at the camera. ‘End of our story’, Neetu had captioned the picture.
