The actor's cousin Saumya Hingorani confirmed the death of Dr Ram Hingorani, who passed away during Lakshmi Puja.
Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh's maternal grandfather, Dr Ram Hingorani, passed away at the age of 96 on Diwali, according to the Hindustan Times. He breathed his last during Lakshmi Puja on November 8.
The news was confirmed by Ranveer's cousin, Saumya Hingorani Thackeray, who shared an emotional tribute on social media. She described his life as a glorious one to be celebrated rather than mourned.
The actor had previously shared videos of his grandfather, whom he called his 'rockstar' Nana. During the 2023 promotions of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Singh posted a video of his grandfather dancing to a song from the film.
Singh also shared that his grandfather had cast his vote during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections at the age of 93. Dr Hingorani was the brother of Draupadi Hingorani Bhambani, the maternal grandmother of actor Sonam Kapoor.
On the professional front, Singh is preparing for his next film, Pralay, directed by Jai Mehta. The project is a survival thriller set in a post-apocalyptic Mumbai and marks his debut as a producer under his banner, Maa Kasam Films.
The film, which also stars Kalyani Priyadarshan, is scheduled to release in late-2027 or early 2028.
