It was a morning that Bollywood fans will never forget. On March 8, 2024, the world lost not just one, but two beloved souls from the same family — television actress Dolly Sohi and her sister Amandeep.

The news spread like wildfire, but with it came disbelief. How could such a tragedy strike twice in a single day, in a single home?

Dolly Sohi was no stranger to the hearts of television audiences. Known for her graceful charm, warm smile, and ability to breathe life into every character she played, she had become a household name.

Her journey to fame was paved with dedication. Dolly wasn’t just a pretty face on the screen — she was an artist who believed in the power of storytelling.

But behind the camera, life had its own script for her. And unlike the shows she worked on, there was no retake, no rewritten ending.

In September 2023, Dolly received the news that would change everything. She had cervical cancer.

At that time, she was working on the television serial Jhanak. The diagnosis came like a bolt of lightning on a sunny day.

For many, such news might have meant stepping away from work immediately. But Dolly was different.

Even as she began chemotherapy, she continued to report to set, determined to bring her character to life for as long as she could.

Her colleagues remember her walking onto the set with the same infectious energy, hiding her pain behind a smile.

When radiation therapy began, things started to change. The fatigue became heavier, the hours longer, the recovery slower.

Eventually, she had to make the painful decision to leave Jhanak. In a heartfelt social media post, she announced she was taking a break from acting.

But Dolly never gave up hope. She told friends and fans alike that she would beat the illness and return to the screen.

Her treatment continued, and there were days when things seemed to improve. Yet, fate had a cruel twist in store.

In February 2024, she began having trouble breathing. Doctors discovered the cancer had spread to her lungs.

She was admitted to a private hospital in Navi Mumbai, where she fought for her life.

While Dolly battled for every breath, another storm was brewing in her family.

Her elder sister, Amandeep Sohi, was in the hospital too, battling severe jaundice.

Amandeep was herself a familiar name in the television industry, though she had stepped away from the limelight.

The sisters were close, bound not just by blood, but by a shared passion for life and art.

Then came the day that broke their family’s heart — and the hearts of countless fans.

Amandeep passed away first. Just hours later, Dolly followed.

Two coffins, two daughters, two sisters — carried out from the same home.

Those who were there say it was a sight too painful to watch. The family’s cries echoed through the air, leaving even strangers in tears.

Dolly was just 48 years old. She left behind her daughter, Emily, the center of her world.

Her marriage to Canada-based NRI Avneet Dhanowa had ended years earlier, officially dissolving in 2023.

But motherhood had been her anchor, her greatest joy amidst life’s storms.

Friends say Dolly’s strength came from her love for Emily, and she often spoke of wanting to see her grow up, graduate, and succeed.

Even in her hospital bed, she asked about her daughter’s day, her meals, her schoolwork.

Her colleagues describe her as a fighter — a woman who, even while facing her mortality, thought about others before herself.

Dolly’s career had been built on memorable performances in shows like Kalash and Bhabhi.

She brought authenticity to every role, whether it was a loving wife, a strong mother, or a woman overcoming hardship.

Viewers saw themselves in her characters, and that connection made her more than just an actress — she was a companion in people’s living rooms.

On the day of her funeral, fans gathered outside her home, some holding flowers, others silently praying.

Tributes flooded social media, with messages from co-stars, directors, and admirers from across the country.

For many, it wasn’t just Dolly’s acting they would miss — it was her warmth, humility, and courage.

Her life, though cut short, left a legacy of resilience and love.

And while she may no longer walk the sets of Indian television, Dolly Sohi’s spirit will forever remain in the stories she told and the hearts she touched.
