Nollywood film director, Charles Novia has stated that he will not fail to mourn late singer, Zara Gretti who wasn’t popular before her death, for the brief impact she made on the music scene in Nigeria. According to him, to be bedridden and destabilized by illness for years deserves our sympathies, tears and prayers for the poor young lady. He wrote, "Though I don't really know this Zara Gretti who died but for her brief impact on the music scene in Nigeria, I pray for her soul. R.I.P.To be bedridden and destabilized by an illness for years deserves our sympathies, tears and prayers for the poor young lady. God rest her."
 
"I guess d DPs springing up after her death today is as much a show of genuine love and sorrow as a show of a collective guilt over her case.

"Zara Gretti; a creative life spent, a creative life snuffed early. Perhaps aided by the evil machinations of a collapsing society. Sad.


"When a creative mind dies in present day Naija, he/she is only remembered for 48 hours. Then it's back to the mundane drudgery of our lives."
