Bollywood superstar Ranveer Singh’s maternal grandfather, Dr Ram Hingorani, passed away on Diwali, November 8, 2026, at 96. The Dhurandhar actor has yet to react publicly to the disheartening news, but his cousin sister, Saumya Hingorani, confirmed it by sharing a deeply moving social media tribute celebrating the life of their beloved family patriarch.
In a touching Instagram post, Saumya wrote: “96 years young. A glorious life to be celebrated, not mourned.”
Reflecting on the peaceful nature of his departure, she revealed: “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.”
Sharing a lighter, comforting perspective on their reunion, she added: “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.”
And concluded with: “Save a scoop of icecream for me. Until we dance again. Hari Om.”
While Ranveer has not yet shared an official statement, his deep bond with his grandfather has often delighted fans online. Earlier in 2023, the actor posted a video of his maternal grandfather (Nana) showcasing his dance moves to Ranveer’s film Rocky Aur Raani Ki Prem Kahaani’s hit song What Jhumka.
