The heartbreaking news was shared on social media by Ranveer’s maternal cousin, Saumya Hingorani Thackeray. Posting a nostalgic carousel of candid family pictures and vintage clips capturing his zest for life, Saumya chose to honour a life lived to the absolute fullest rather than succumb to sorrow.
Pouring her heart out in a moving tribute, Saumya wrote, “96 years young. A glorious life to be celebrated, not mourned. My Dadu, Dr. Ram, peacefully left us on Diwali to go home to my Dadi. He couldn’t have picked a more auspicious time – the golden hour of the day, during Lakshmi Puja. I bet the two of them are in their chairs sipping on a crisp whiskey, enjoying watching us together. Thank you for being the best Dadu in the world. Thank you for giving us everything. Save a scoop of ice cream for me. Until we dance again. Hari Om.”
Long-time fans will fondly recall the infectious camaraderie Ranveer shared with his maternal grandfather. From dubbing him “peak Rocky-ism” when the nonagenarian sportingly slipped into a custom Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani tee, to proudly hailing him as a “Rockstar Nana” for braving the scorching summer heat to cast his vote, Dr Hingorani matched Ranveer’s high-voltage energy beat for beat.
With his passing, Dr Hingorani reunites with his late wife, whom Ranveer famously dedicated his 2018 Screen Award to after her demise. While Ranveer and Deepika Padukone are yet to share an official public note, prayers and heartfelt condolences continue pouring in for the deeply grieving Hingorani-Bhavnani family.
