Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh’s maternal grandfather, Dr Ram Hingorani, dies at the age of 96 on Diwali, according to a tribute shared by Ranveer’s cousin, Saumya Hingorani Thackeray, on social media.
All outlets describe the death as occurring during Diwali and say Saumya posts memories and condolences alongside the announcement, including a message that frames the occasion as one for celebration rather than mourning. NDTV and similar reports highlight the same social-media line about being “96 years young,” while Times of India repeats that the passing was described as peaceful and timed to Diwali.
Some coverage adds more detail from Saumya’s post, such as her reference to “Lakshmi Puja” timing and her description of him leaving “to go home” to her grandmother. Other reports keep to the basic facts of age, Diwali timing, and the tribute, and do not mention whether Ranveer or Deepika have publicly responded yet.
