Actor Amrit Kashyap said Rita Bhaduri is one of the finest actors of Indian cinema. She was a veteran. She had depicted mother skills in Beta and Viraasat. She was really someone who had her heart out in whatever roles she played. She will be missed dearly. RIP. God bless her soul.
Asish Mehta, a film fan in Bhubaneswar, said, “I remember her for her movie Hero No. 1 where she had played opposite actor Tiku Talsania and as sister-in-law of Karishma Kapoor. She was one of the veterans of television industry who had played many iconic roles.”
Director Amartya Bhattacharya said, “Every demise hurts us, more so because we tend to miss artistes more when they are no longer there. Rita Bhaduriji started her career long before I was born, and has been a part of several films and television programmes. I only hope and I wish that she will be remembered for her work. One good thing about passionate people is that they live through their work, even after they depart. I’m sure Rita Bhaduriji too will live through her huge body of work.”

Odia film director Swastik Chaudhary said, “Rita was an alumnus of FTII who had done a number of roles across television and films. She definitely was a wonderful actor and probably had much more to offer had she not been bracketed in the stereotypical roles ….”
