Ending her emotional message, she thanked her grandfather for being the best Dadu and wrote, “Save a scoop of ice cream for me. Until we dance again. Hari Om.”

Meanwhile, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone have not yet shared a public statement about the family loss.

RANVEER’S SPECIAL BOND WITH HIS NANA

Ranveer has never shied away from expressing his affection for his maternal grandfather. Over the years, he has shared several photographs and videos showcasing their fun-filled relationship.

In August 2020, the actor posted a photograph of Dr Hingorani wearing a cap, oversized sunglasses and a gold chain. He simply captioned it “Nana-G.”

Their cheerful equation was also evident during the promotions of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani in August 2023. Ranveer shared a series of pictures and videos with his grandfather, who was then 93 years old.

One of the clips showed the two dancing together to the popular track Jhumka Gira Re. Dr Hingorani even wore a ‘Team Rocky’ T-shirt and brought his own sense of humour to the celebrations with the remark, “Tikki choro tequila lao!”

RANVEER PRAISED HIS GRANDFATHER FOR VOTING AT 93

In May 2024, Ranveer shared another special moment involving his grandfather. Despite the scorching summer temperatures in Mumbai, Dr Hingorani stepped out to exercise his right to vote at the age of 93.

The actor posted a photograph celebrating his grandfather’s commitment and highlighted the fact that he had voted despite the temperature reaching 93 degrees Fahrenheit.

“93yrs old. 93°F outside. But he voted. He’s a voter! My Rockstar Nana #EveryVoteCounts,” Ranveer wrote.

From dancing together to celebrating important moments, Ranveer’s social media posts reflected the deep affection he shared with his Nana. Dr Ram Hingorani’s passing marks a significant loss for the family, but the memories and moments he shared with his loved ones will remain cherished.
