Recalling her memories with Kaveta, Suchitra mentioned, "As she opened her door, memories of her 'Bhaisahab' line from the Surf commercial echoed in my mind, and I couldn't help but utter it aloud. That moment marked the beginning of a bond that transcended mere friendship. She became my mentor, my guide, my spiritual guru, and above all, she became family."
She also wrote, "Kavetaji wasn't just a symbol of women empowerment; she lived and breathed it. Her work inspired countless women to pursue their dreams, especially in the Indian Police Services. Her legacy of empowerment will continue to resonate for generations to come. While I find solace in knowing that she is now free from pain, it breaks my heart to realize that she will never pick up my calls from now. May her soul find eternal peace."

Farewell, dear Kaveta Ma'am. You will forever live on in our hearts. #RIPKavetaChaudhary"
