Pooja has penned an emotional note on the passing away of her favorite teacher during her school days in Mumbai.  It shows how much she treasured her and still has memories after many years and fans are flooding their consolation on her timeline.

Pooja's post reads "Heartbroken to hear that my favorite teacher Mrs Jessica Daruwala is no more. If you were in Maneckji Copper and were lucky enough to know her, you know that the world has lost a gem today. Her kindness towards me when I was down, is something I will carry with me forever. Some teachers are just pure gold. Thank you for shaping me into who I am Mam by teaching me much more than Geography. Thank you for seeing me when I was invisible. Gone too soon. Sending her family loads of love and light in these tough times"
