Arre bhai, Bollywood ka Holi dhamaka cut short ho gaya, with the sad news of Deb Mukherjee’s passing. Ayan Mukerji’s father and the industry’s beloved veteran actor departed at 83, leaving the film fraternity in sorrow. Why do the good ones have to leave so soon, yaar?
Kajol’s Swift Arrival with Tanuja
So, as the news spread faster than a filmi gossip, Ayan’s dost-log, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, abandonded their Holi party in Alibaug and zoomed back to Mumbai. Kajol, along with her mom Tanuja, was among the first to arrive and pay her respects to her dear uncle. Jaya Bachchan, with her emotional antennae on high alert, was spotted comforting Kajol.
The Man, The Legend: Deb Mukherjee
Deb Mukherjee, born to Sashadhar Mukherjee of the legendary Filmalaya Studios, was practically filmi royalty. His mom, Sati Devi, was the sister of the iconic Ashok Kumar, Anoop Kumar, and Kishore Kumar. Talk about a family tree full of stars! His brother Joy Mukherjee was a noted actor, while Shomu Mukherjee, another brother, tied the knot with actress Tanuja, making Kajol and Tanisha his nieces.
Family Ties and Filmy Connections
Deb had a daughter, Sunita, from his first marriage, and Ayan from his second. In a filmi twist, Ayan’s sister Sunita is married to filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker. The Mukherjee clan sure knows how to keep it within the film family!
Ranbir Kapoor and the Final Goodbye
Ranbir Kapoor, doing what real dost do, was seen shouldering the bier in pics shared by paparazzi Manav Mangalani. Kishore Kumar’s son, Amit Kumar, also attended the funeral, joining Hrithik Roshan, Salim Khan, and Karan Johar in paying their last respects.
Deb Mukherjee’s soul, may it rest in eternal peace. The Mukherjee family, our heartfelt condolences are with you.
Kiran’s Gyan: Bollywood ka asli drama jo hai na, it’s not in the movies but in the lives of these stars. Life, like a movie, can change its script anytime. So, cherish every scene, kyunki picture abhi baaki hai, mere dost! 🎬✨
