TV actress and producer Kavita Chaudhary, known for her roles in the TV serial “Udaan” and as ‘Lalitaji’ in Surf commercials, passed away on Thursday. She was 67.
According to media reports, Chaudhaury breathed her last in Amritsar and her last rites were performed on Friday.
The TV actress gained popularity for her portrayal of an IPS officer in Doordarshan’s “Udaan.” The series was inspired by the true story of Kanchan Chaudhary Bhattacharya, a 1973 batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer who happens to be the sister of Kavita Chaudhary.
