Well-known Indian socialite and philanthropist Parmeshwar Godrej breathed her last on Monday night at Mumbai’s Breach Candy hospital, where she was admitted recently. She was reportedly suffering from a degenerative ailment in the lungs.
Besides her husband Adi Godrej, Parmeshwar, a former air hostess with Air India, is survived by three children – Nisaba, Pirojsha and Tanya Dubash.
Adi Godrej often described his wife Parmeshwar as a “much more social person” than himself. After all, she was one of India’s earliest socialites who ruled the society pages for almost half a century – and wielded a great deal of power.
