I was just told Dr. Deepa Sharma @deepadoc had been on KBC with @SrBachchan in 2013. Sadly she was one of the 9 tourists who were killed in a massive landslide in Himachal Pradesh yesterday. She was always desperate to help people genuinely. Terrible loss at such a young age. pic.twitter.com/K2qk0816ZB
