/> If Vipula Kadri can see her family from her death she would be delighted to know that son-in-law Sunil Shetty has decided to carry his celebrity mom-in-law's work forward.

"Not just me," Sunil is as usual self deprecatory. "All of us, my wife Mana and her two siblings, and my own parents, we're united in this process of carrying forward my mother-in-law's Save The Children India programme.

I've been actively associated with her social and charitable work. But now it's more than just an association. Her passing away has made it imperative that we don't let her work slacken. She would've wanted us to carry on."

Sunil has been approaching corporate companies for his mom-in-law's charitable work. "Whether it's Jet Airways or Pantaloon, no one has said no to me. We plan to build on her work. Vipula Kadri wasn't just my mother-in-law. She was my second mother. All of us, my parents included, are still in shock at her sudden demise. It's very important for us to carry on her legacy."

The entire Shetty and Kadri family have divided Vipula Kadri's work among themselves. "My father-in-law who's an architect was already heavily involved with his wife's work.

Now each one of us from the family—we can't call it two families because we're one—has been apportioned a specific wing of her work. We're all leaving behind some of our other duties to give priority to my mother-in-law's projects."

Recalling the harrowing time when Vipula Kadri was in hospital Sunil says, "I was stationed at Amby Valley shooting for my tv show The Biggest Loser which goes on air this month when she was in hospital. Everyday I'd drive from Amby Valley to Mumbai spending as much time with her as possible. I feel I've lost a parent."

Sunil feels it's very important for the new generation to reclaim family values. "We scoff at heroines who are accompanied to the sets by their mothers. But why don't we see how wonderful it is to have these family ties so visible in an industry that's notorious for its self-serving nature? For me it's very important to remind my children every other day about my mother-in-law. They need to know the legacy they've to carry forward."
