In a poignant display of love and heartache, actress Divya Seth Shah has taken to Instagram to express her profound sorrow over the loss of her daughter, Mihika Shah. The tragic news, confirmed earlier this month, has sent waves of sympathy and grief throughout the entertainment industry and among fans.
Mihika Shah, a vibrant young woman in her 20s, sadly passed away on Monday, August 5, in Mumbai after suffering a seizure that was reportedly triggered by a fever. Mihika, a beacon of warmth and kindness in her mother’s life, was remembered fondly by those who knew her. The news of her untimely demise has left a void that extends beyond her immediate family, touching the hearts of those who encountered her light.
Divya Seth shared a touching photograph of herself with Mihika on her Instagram account, accompanying it with an emotional message that celebrated her daughter’s nurturing spirit and unconditional love. “When I look at you, I see the purest love I’ll ever know,” Divya wrote. “Every wounded soul finds their way to you; in your care, they heal and grow. Divya, God’s gift, my blessing from above, whose love is stronger than the eye can see, in 8.1 billion people on earth mama, you’re the perfect mother for me, my Dibi, I love you.”
This heartfelt post was followed by another promise imbued with both hope and despair. “I hope you can See Me, I promise to be Brave. I will do everything We planned. See you on the Beach. And in the Jungle honey,” Divya added, revealing the plans and dreams they shared but will forever remain unfinished.

“You might have been born to different parents but you are and always will be my baby,” Rohit wrote. “You are the most loving, sensitive little girl I’ve ever known, and I remember how very excited you were to give your mumma a perfect birthday. When you said, ‘Bye Rohit Papa,’ I didn’t think in my worst NIGHTMARES that this is what you meant.”
Rohit’s post didn’t end there. His grief was palpable as he continued, “Although I pray that you get a comfortable passage to where you have gone, I also pray that you come back to your parents in some form. See you soon Mihika, I love you. RIP.” This tender message encapsulated the collective grief felt by many who had the privilege of knowing Mihika.
Divya Seth, who has made her mark in the entertainment industry with roles in popular TV shows such as ‘Hum Log’ and ‘Banegi Apni Baat,’ and films like ‘Jab We Met,’ ‘Dil Dhadakne Do,’ and ‘Article 370,’ announced the heartbreaking news of Mihika’s passing on Facebook. In a joint statement with her husband, Siddharth Shah, they conveyed their immeasurable sorrow: “With profound sorrow, we inform you of the passing of our beloved Mihika Shah, who left for her heavenly abode on August 5th, 2024.”
The statement was a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the inexplicable pain of losing a loved one.
