Ranveer Singh’s grandfather dies at 96
Ranveer Singh was very close to his maternal grandfather and often shared glimpses of their relationship on social media. One of the most loved moments came in 2023, when the actor posted a video of his grandfather dancing to the song ‘What Jhumka?’ from his film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.
What made the video even more special was that Dr Ram Hingorani was 93 at the time. Wearing a Team Rocky T-shirt, he danced with great enthusiasm and even joked, “Leave tikki, bring tequila for me.” Ranveer shared the video with the caption, “Nana is peak Rocky-ism! 93 and Rock(y)ing!!!”

Ranveer Singh’s grandfather was full of life
This was not the only time Ranveer shared a special moment with his Nana. During the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the actor posted a picture of his 93-year-old grandfather after he stepped out to cast his vote despite the summer heat. Ranveer lovingly called him his ‘Rockstar Nana’.
Dr Ram Hingorani clearly held a special place in Ranveer’s life. His cheerful nature, love for dancing and sense of humour made him a favourite among family members.
While Ranveer has not shared a public statement about his grandfather’s passing, Saumya’s post has brought back some beautiful memories of him.
