Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh’s family has been plunged into grief. The actor’s maternal grandfather, Dr. Ram Hingorani, has passed away at the age of 96. He breathed his last during Lakshmi Puja on Diwali. His passing has left the family in mourning. Family members are sharing photos and emotional messages on social media, remembering him and recalling the beautiful moments they spent together.
Ranveer Singh’s cousin shared an emotional post
Ranveer Singh’s cousin, Saumya Hingorani, announced the passing of his maternal grandfather through an Instagram post. She shared several photos and videos of Dr. Ram Hingorani and wrote an emotional message for him.
Soumya wrote, “96 years of a wonderful life. This is not a time to mourn, but to celebrate. My grandfather, Dr. Ram, peacefully departed this world on Diwali to join his wife, my grandmother. He couldn’t have chosen a more auspicious time to leave. The golden hour of the day and the time of Lakshmi Puja. I’m sure both of them are sitting in their chairs, enjoying whiskey, and rejoicing to see us together. Thank you for being the best grandfather in the world. Thank you for giving us everything. Save a scoop of ice cream for me. Until we dance together again. Hari Om.”
Ranveer Singh has not yet publicly shared any statement on his grandfather’s passing.
Ranveer was very close to his grandfather. In 2023, during the promotion of the film “Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani,” the actor shared a video of him dancing with his grandfather to the song “What Jhumka?”
Additionally, during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, he shared a photo of his grandfather after casting his vote. Praising his grandfather’s spirit, the actor wrote, “93 years old. 93 degrees outside. But he voted. He’s a voter! My rockstar grandfather. Every vote counts.”
Ranveer Singh also paid an emotional tribute to his grandmother
Ranveer Singh’s grandmother passed away in 2018. While accepting the Best Actor award for the film “Padmaavat” at the Screen Awards that same year, Ranveer gave an emotional speech remembering his grandmother.
The actor revealed that on the day of his grandmother’s death, he called his sister to inquire about her well-being. Ranveer had said, “I want to dedicate this award to my grandmother. I lost my grandmother this year. I remember my sister was with her on her last day. I called her and asked how she was and what she was doing. She told me she was sitting on the terrace watching ‘Khali Bali,’ which she watched every day during breakfast. The next time I called, I found out that was her last time. Nani, I know you’ll be very happy to see me today. I love you and miss you so much. This award is for you.”
