The news of legendary Argentinian footballer Diego Maradona’s death due to cardiac arrest shocked the entire globe, and fans of the footballer poured condolences on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.

Joining millions of his fans, Malayalam anchor Ranjini Haridas also penned an emotional note bidding adieu to the legendary footballer. It should be noted that Ranjini had spent some quality time with Maradona when he visited Kerala, as a part of promoting Chemmannur Jewellers.

“I had the honour of hosting an event years ago when the Legend himself came to visit his Malayalee football fans in Cannanore. That day will forever be etched in my heart as it was probably one of the most energy-filled, crazy, most fun ones I’ve hosted,” wrote Ranjini Haridas.

Ranjini also recollected her memories sharing those valuable moments with Maradona. She added that Maradona had kissed her during that programme.

“My mind immediately travelled back to that very day of complete madness – hosting the event, dancing with him, being kissed by him …instead of excitement, it’s sadness and a huge sense of loss that I feel. To know he is no more is definitely a hard hit for the world. A tremendous loss. ‘You filled up everywhere that you went with your inimitable aura..whether it be a football field, a stage show, or even a party. You lived your live king size and you lived it your way’…So here is to the one and only “Diego Maradona – A True Legend – may your soul rest in peace !!!” added Ranjini.
