Ranveer Singh's maternal grandfather, Dr Ram Hingorani, died on Diwali. He was 96. While Ranveer Singh hasn't shared any post on social media yet, the actor's cosuin Saumya Hingorani shared pictures and videos of Mr Hingorani on her social media, confirming his death. In an emotional tribute, Ranveer Singh's cousin wrote that Dr Ram Hingorani lived a full life.
"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," Saumya wrote in her post.
