Ritu Nanda’s death has emotionally shaken the Kapoors and Bollywood stars. Reminiscing her contribution, back in 2010, Ritu Nanda, opened up to a news daily about the book she wrote on her father.

Speaking about the spiritual help she underwent, she revealed she prayed to her Guru (Sai Baba) every day. Ritu Nanda made a revelation that her faith in Sai Baba was evergreen. Furthermore, she added that when she prayed to her guru and opened his holy book, the first chapter had the author asking God about how someone could write a book on Almighty and that Sai Baba actually appeared to him.
The book that was written by Ritu Nanda reportedly saw 100,000 copies. It was also printed in Russian, and then was translated into many languages. In the same interaction, Ritu revealed that her Guru had definitely helped her and that she really did not claim to have known her father- Raj Kapoor. Lastly, she emotionally shared that losing Raj Kapoor made her see a huge emotional crisis and hence creating the book was her Guru's way of healing herself.
