Veteran actress Metta Roongrat died at 79 after battling 16 illnesses, prompting tributes from colleagues like Kob Paphassara who praised her dedication to working until the end.
Actress Kob Paphassara expressed shock and deep sorrow over the passing of veteran star Metta Roongrat, who was found dead at her home after battling multiple illnesses. The news of the renowned senior actress's death sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry. Kob posted a photo with "Mae Neng" Metta from when she was still alive, along with a heartfelt caption mourning her loss.
Kob wrote: "We took this photo on the set of 'Sun of Fire' on Channel 7 (six years ago). Mae came to act in 'Sun of Fire' for me. We talked and were happy together. Mae said thank you so much, Kob, for still thinking of me and bringing me back to act. Mae said if there's any role she can play without being a burden to the crew, call her anytime."
Kob revealed their conversation about Metta wanting to act to earn money: "At that time, Mae also said she was sick like elderly people are. But Mae said she'd rather come act because she didn't want to receive help from anyone; she'd rather work. So very, very sad and so very, very shocked. Truly, truly. May Mae Neng reach a blissful state, rest peacefully in the cycle of rebirth. Always love and respect Mae Neng."
