Seema Deo, who acted in over 80 Hindi and Marathi films, passed away at her Bandra home.
Veteran actor Seema Deo, remembered for her roles in Anand and Kora Kagaz, died here on Thursday morning due to age-related ailments, her filmmaker son Abhinay Deo said. She was 81.
The actor, who acted in over 80 Hindi and Marathi films, passed away at her Bandra home. She had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for over three years. "She passed away at 8.30-9 am at her residence in Bandra due to old age. She had been withdrawn completely, and eventually, it is just old age. Alzheimer's is such a thing that you stop figuring out how to function. She had dementia leading up to Alzheimer's and she was suffering from it for over three years.
"There's no specific reason (for her death). Due to Alzheimer's and dementia, the person forgets how to walk. The muscle memory starts coming down and one by one, the organs start shutting down, Abhinay Deo told PTI. The last rites will be performed at 5 p.m. at Shivaji Park.
Her husband, Ramesh Deo, also a veteran of Hindi and Marathi cinema, died in 2022 at the age of 93. She is survived by two sons actor Ajinkya Deo and Abhinay Deo. While Ajinkya Deo has featured in films such as Sansaar, Indrajeet and Aan: Men at Work, Abhinay Deo is a director known for Delhi Belly and Force.
Dayanand Kamble, Deputy Director (News) at Directorate General of Information & Public Relations, Govt Of Maharashtra, tweeted,"Veteran actress #SeemaDeo, who made a mark in the Marathi & Hindi film industry with her excellent acting, passed away. She was 81 years old. Seema Deo has always entertained the audience with remarkable work in Marathi & Hindi cinema. She had acted in nearly 80 Hindi and Marathi films.

One of the fans wrote, "That's how I always remembered them. Husband and wife in Hrishida's Anand. Both were natural and unbelievable actors. A couple one always thought of as elder brother and Vahini. Satish and Usha of PuLa's Tuze Aahe Tujpashi."
The second one said, "Veteran actress in Marathi and Hindi film industry, Seema Deo passed away! Om Shanti!" The third one said, "RIP #SeemaDeo Ma'am #SeemaDeo with #RameshDeo and Poonam Dhillon in Satish Duggal's Khel Mohabbat Ka." (With inputs from PTI)
