Kajol & Rani Mukerji’s Uncle Rono Mukherjee Passes Away
The film industry is mourning the loss of a veteran filmmaker and uncle of two of Bollywood’s most iconic actresses, Kajol and Rani Mukerji. Rono Mukherjee, a renowned filmmaker in his own right, passed away on Wednesday, leaving behind a legacy of iconic films and a family of talented actors.
According to reports, Rono’s funeral was attended by his daughter, actress Tanishaa Mukerji, and his son, director Ayan Mukerji, along with filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker and other industry colleagues. Rono’s passing has left the film fraternity in shock, with many taking to social media to pay their respects to the late filmmaker.
Rono Mukherjee was a talented filmmaker who had directed several iconic films during his career. His most notable works include the 1965 film “Tu Hi Meri Zindagi” and the 1977 film “Haiwan”. Both films were critically acclaimed and have since become cult classics.
Rono’s connection to the film industry ran deep, as he was the father of actors Sharbani Mukherjee and Samrat Mukherjee. His daughters have both made a name for themselves in the film industry, with Sharbani appearing in films like “Awarapan” and “Anjaana Anjaani”, while Samrat has worked in films like “Patiala House” and “Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana”.
Kajol and Rani Mukerji, Rono’s nieces, are both highly acclaimed actresses who have made significant contributions to the film industry. Kajol, known for her iconic films like “Baazigar”, “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”, and “My Name Is Khan”, is a National Award-winning actress who has been active in the film industry for over three decades. Rani Mukerji, best known for her roles in films like “Black”, “Kabhi Alvida Naa Kya”, and “Mardaani”, is a critically acclaimed actress who has won numerous awards for her performances.
Rono’s passing is a significant loss to the film industry, not just because of his talent as a filmmaker, but also because of the legacy he leaves behind. As a family man, he was deeply connected to his daughters and nieces, who have all made a name for themselves in the film industry.
As the news of Rono’s passing spread, tributes began pouring in from across the film industry. “He was a wonderful person and a great filmmaker,” said Kajol, a visibly emotional Kajol. “I will always remember him for his kindness and generosity. He was a true gentleman and a great uncle.”
Rani Mukerji, too, paid her respects to her uncle, saying, “He was a brilliant filmmaker and a wonderful person. I will always remember him for his passion and dedication to his craft. He was a true artist and a great uncle.”
Ayan Mukerji, Rono’s son and director of films like “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani” and “Brahmastra”, was visibly shaken by his father’s passing. “He was my guiding light and my mentor,” he said. “I will always remember him for his guidance and support. He was a true mentor and a great father.”
As the film industry mourns the loss of Rono Mukherjee, it is clear that his legacy will live on through his family and his films. His passing is a significant loss, but it is also a reminder of the impact he had on the lives of those around him.
