Vidi Aldiano Passed Away, Dewi Gita Remembers the Endearing Call 'Nyai' from the Late One that Made Her Cry

Kapanlagi.com - The entertainment world was shocked by the news of Vidi Aldiano's passing, which certainly left many sweet memories for his friends, including Dewi Gita. The wife of Armand Maulana was unable to hold back her tears while recounting moments spent with the deceased. One of the most memorable things for Dewi was the special nickname that Vidi gave her.

Dewi recounted that Vidi had a unique way of greeting her. While Vidi's peers usually called her 'Teteh', Vidi chose to call her "Nyai", which is typically used by a senior generation.

"What makes me cry is... the only one who called me 'Nyai' was Vidi. In his generation, everyone called me Nyai. But at Vidi's age, most called me 'Teteh'. Only Vidi... from afar, 'Nyai!' he would shout," reminisced Dewi Gita after visiting Vidi Aldiano's funeral home in Cilandak, South Jakarta, Saturday (07/03/2026).
