Mumbai, Nov 25 (IBNS): Dancing legend Sitara Devi, who passed away on Tuesday morning at a hospital in Mumbai, wrote her last letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi weeks before she was admitted to the hospital.

The letter was dictated by Sitara Devi to her daughter Kathak guru Jayanti Mala Mishra who penned it down in the presence of a couple of her students and handed it over to the Editor of IndyaNewz.com.

For the last 30-35 years Sitara Devi had been running from pillar to post to get a plot of land in Mumbai, sanctioned for a dance academy which she planned to set up.

In her letter, she had asked the PM to help her secure the land needed for the Kathak institute.

She even mentioned that she had been keeping unwell and hence, her daughter was monitoring the project of the Kathak institute.
