Kajol & Rani Mukerji’s Uncle Rono Mukherjee Passes Away
It is with a heavy heart that we mourn the passing of Rono Mukherjee, the uncle of Bollywood actresses Kajol and Rani Mukerji. The news of his demise was confirmed on Wednesday, leaving behind a legacy of films and memories that will be cherished by his family and the film industry.
Rono was a filmmaker in his own right, having directed several movies during his illustrious career. Two of his most notable films were Tu Hi Meri Zindagi (1965) and Haiwan (1977), which showcased his talent and creativity as a director.
As the uncle of Kajol and Rani Mukerji, Rono was a part of the Mukerji family, which has been a prominent fixture in the Indian film industry for decades. Kajol, in particular, has spoken highly of her uncle, often crediting him for his guidance and support in her early days as an actress.
Rono’s passing has left the Mukerji family reeling, and several members were in attendance at his funeral, which was held on Wednesday. Among those who paid their respects to the late filmmaker were Tanishaa Mukerji, Ayan Mukerji, and Ashutosh Gowariker, all of whom are well-known figures in the film industry.
Tanishaa, who is Kajol’s younger sister, was seen breaking down in tears as she bid farewell to her uncle. Ayan, who is Kajol’s brother, was also present at the funeral, as was Ashutosh Gowariker, who has directed several critically acclaimed films, including Lagaan and Swades.
Rono’s family was also in attendance, including his children, Sharbani Mukherjee and Samrat Mukherjee, who are both actors in their own right. Sharbani has appeared in several films, including the popular TV show, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, while Samrat has worked in films like Drona and Life Partner.
Despite his passing, Rono’s legacy will live on through his films and the many lives he touched during his lifetime. As a filmmaker, he will be remembered for his unique perspective and his ability to tell compelling stories on screen. As an uncle and family member, he will be cherished for the love and support he showed to his nieces and nephews, including Kajol and Rani Mukerji.
In the words of Kajol, who has spoken highly of her uncle in the past, “Rono was more than just an uncle to me. He was a guiding force, a mentor, and a friend. He believed in me when I was just starting out in the industry, and his support meant the world to me.”
Rani Mukerji, who has also spoken about her uncle’s influence on her life and career, added, “Rono was a kind and gentle soul, who always put others before himself. He was a true artist, and his love for cinema was evident in every frame he directed.”
As the Mukerji family says goodbye to Rono, they will undoubtedly remember the many happy times they shared with him, and the many memories they created together. His passing is a reminder of the importance of cherishing the time we have with our loved ones, and of the impact that they can have on our lives.
Rest in peace, Rono Mukherjee. Your legacy will live on through your films and the many lives you touched during your lifetime.
