Ishaan's father Rajesh Khatter (ex-husband of Neelima Azim) also wrote, "An accomplished woman, her zest for life was infectious, she and her husband Anwar Azeem saheb’s influence on my life just seeped in organically & somewhere helped in making me the person I am today. Rest in peace Ammi . U will always be in our hearts." Shahid Kapoor's wife Mira Rajput, Janhvi Kapoor, Vikrant Massey, Anshula Kapoor, and other celebrities also expressed their condolences.

Ammi.. you instilled wit, fire, knowledge, perseverance, purpose and meaning in all of us. Freedom fighter, writer, translator, editor.. sister, wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, friend, confidant - you were so many things and more. They don’t make them like you anymore. Blessed to have had you in my life. I’ll carry a small piece of your vast presence with me always. You’ll never be forgotten by anybody whose life you deeply impacted.
