Veteran actress Aruna Irani returns to work months after the death of her husband, filmmaker Kuku Kohli. According to multiple outlets, she shares emotional messages on social media, expressing gratitude to fans and well-wishers for their support during her difficult period, and says it helped her regain strength and return to her professional commitments.
Reports broadly agree that Kohli dies of a heart attack at the age of 77 on August 25, 2026, following a brief illness that led to hospital admission on August 24. His funeral takes place the following day, with members of the Irani and Kohli families present; several figures from the film industry also attend.
While the outlets focus on different aspects, the central points remain consistent: Irani’s public thanks to supporters, her decision to resume work about two months after Kohli’s death, and basic details of Kohli’s passing and survival—Irani and Kohli’s two daughters from his first marriage. One outlet also notes that Irani kept parts of their marriage private due to personal circumstances.
