Kapanlagi.com - The departure of Ria Irawan left a deep sorrow for her family and close relatives, including the famous actor Rano Karno. Although he admitted that he had not met Ria for the past 10 years, Rano still actively communicated with the woman named Chandra Ariati Dewi Irawan.

Rano Karno even thought that Ria Irawan had recovered from her illness. Because some time ago, Ria expressed her intention to go on a trip to Bali.

"She said, 'bang Ria wants to go home but wants to go to Bali first', that means she's healthy. So I thought she was already healthy," said Rano Karno, when met at Ria Irawan's funeral home in Lebak Bulus, South Jakarta, Monday (06/01/2020).

1. The Figure of Ria Irawan in the Eyes of Rano Karno

The departure of Ria Irawan reminds Rano Karno of her presence in the past. According to the actor of the film SI DOEL, when she was still a child, the late Ria Irawan was known for her tomboy and energetic nature.

"I knew her since childhood, coincidentally her late father, Mr. Bambang Irawan, was a friend of my late father, so I knew how she was when she was little. She was a very cheerful person, very resilient. She was a tomboy, beautiful. Her long hair was loose but her behavior was actually like a boy," recalled Rano Karno.

2. True Fighter

Not stopping there, according to Rano Karno, Ria Irawan was also a true fighter who never gave up. This was proven through her battle against cancer.

"She remained a fighter until the very end. Allah loves her more than prolonging her suffering. Let us pray that Allah gives her the best place," he concluded.
