  "account": "Veteran actress Aruna Irani returned to her professional life more than a month after losing her husband, filmmaker Kuku Kohli. Kohli, 77, succumbed to a massive heart attack on August 25, leaving Aruna, 80, visibly distraught at his last rites in Mumbai. The grief-stricken actor took to Instagram to express her gratitude to her fans and supporters, stating that it was their love and support that enabled her to return to work. Aruna, who last appeared in Vishal Bhardwaj's thriller O Romeo, opened up about her relationship with Kohli for the first time, revealing that she kept their marriage a secret due to Kohli's prior marriage. Despite Kohli's first wife Rita Kohli expressing discomfort over the affair, Aruna defended it, urging people to hold her husband accountable for his actions.",
