In another letter, to TVRI, she asked the company to take care of affairs related to her burial.

In a column, the journalist-cum-actor wrote that her death was all the more shocking owing to Hardi's frequent portrayal of strong, wise mothers, to whom millions of viewers could turn when they felt themselves lost in the bustle of modern life.

Similar sentiments were expressed in an obituary in Tempo: "now we have all become orphans".
