Ranveer Singh lost his maternal grandfather, Dr Ram Hingorani. The actor, who found his loudest cheerleader and greatest support in him, is quietly mourning the irreplaceable loss in his life. The news was confirmed by his cousin sister, Saumya Hingorani Thackeray. She paid an emotional tribute to her paternal grandfather and remembered spending happy days with him. Ranveer and Deepika Padukone have not issued any statement on the loss yet. Dr Ram was 96 and breathed his last on the auspicious day of Lakshmi Puja. Saumya’s tribute for Dr Ram read, “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 icecream for me. Until we dance again (sic).” During the promotions of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Ranveer danced with his grandfather to the film’s song, Jhumka Gira Re.

His last film was Dhurandhar, which was a blockbuster. Earlier, Pralay was to go on floors in Australia. However, according to the latest development, the location was changed to Mumbai. Ranveer, who will be welcoming his second baby with Deepika, wanted to stay close to her during the important phase. Secondly, the makers reportedly faced difficulties in securing permissions for some Australian locations. Pralay is directed by Jai Mehta and also stars Kalyani Priyadarshan. Ranveer is producing Pralay under his home banner, Maa Kasam Films. It is the company's first film. Pralay is said to be a high-concept, post-apocalyptic zombie horror thriller, scheduled to release in late-2027 or early 2028. In September, Deepika and Ranveer welcomed their second daughter, named Devi. A quintessential Bollywood buff, I keep myself updated with all the latest developments.
