New Delhi: After 42 years of lying in a vegetative state, former King Edward Memorial (KEM) hospital nurse Aruna Shanbaug, passed away on Monday.
She had been in coma since November 27, 1973, after she was sexually assaulted by the hospital sweeper.
While the nation is immersed in her sorrow, our Bollywood celebs too have come forward to express their grief over the demise of this brave lady.

A 42-yr struggle ends as #ArunaShanbaug leaves for a better life in a better world. A chilling story rewritten by KEM's compassion. RIP.
