Ranveer Singh’s maternal grandfather dies at 96 during Lakshmi Puja

Dr. Ram Hingorani, the maternal grandfather of Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh, has peacefully passed away at the age of 96, according to a heartfelt announcement from Ranveer's cousin, Saumya Hingorani Thackeray. Saumya shared memories of her grandfather, expressing that his passing occurred during Diwali, a time symbolic of his family's faith.

The actress chose to celebrate their shared moments, rather than mourn, and thanked him for being the "best Dadu in the world." Ranveer and his wife, Deepika Padukone, have yet to make a public statement regarding the loss. Saumya's tribute included a series of photographs and videos showcasing their deep bond, as well as a touching message to her grandfather, wishing him "a scoop of ice cream" until they danced again.
