Rani Mukerji’s mother, Krishna Mukerji, dies at the age of 75. Multiple outlets report that the family’s announcement is confirmed by Yash Raj Films, which issues a statement expressing the family’s grief.
The reports also say the family requests privacy during this time. NDTV and Free Press Journal emphasize the close bond between Krishna and Rani, including Krishna’s influence on Rani’s acting career. Times of India adds biographical details, describing Krishna as a former playback singer with Bengali-Hindi film ties, married to filmmaker Ram Mukerji, and sister to Debashree Roy. While all sources agree on the age, relationship, and that YRF confirms the death, they differ mainly in the amount of personal background they provide. None of the accounts included a publicly disclosed cause of death or details of funeral arrangements at the time of reporting.
