Shubhangi Latkar wrote, “He may have seemed small in appearance, but he was one of the strongest and most courageous people I have known. Though we all knew he had been unwell for many months, somewhere in the heart, one never stops hoping… We had so many unfinished plans. After years, I had truly wished to work with him again. We had decided to do a beautiful Hindi play together. When I requested him, he smiled and said, ‘Let me get well soon.’ We had even planned to present selected beautiful poems together on stage. That dream, too, now remains unfinished…”

The actress poured her heart out. She expressed grief by sharing that some losses leave behind a silence that words fail to express. “You will be deeply missed, Ramakant ji. Your warmth, your courage, your art, and your beautiful spirit will always remain alive in our hearts. May your soul rest in peace,” she concluded. 

The actor portrayed roles in blockbuster films and web series, including Chak De India, Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story, Ram Setu, Dhanak, Brothers, The Trial, Crew, Farzi, Mumbai Saga, and The Chargesheet. Not just that, Dayama was also a part of daily soaps like Mehndi Wala Ghar, Servicewali Bahu, and Kunwara Hai Par Hamara Hai. The Indian TV industry lost one of its understated yet deeply cherished actors whose warmth often lingered for a prolonged period of time post the scenes.
