Mom-to-be Kiara, Kajol & others reach for Deb Mukerji’s prayer ceremony

Yesterday was quite a traumatizing day for Bollywood as ace filmmaker Ayan Mukerji`s father, Deb Mukerji, passed away. After the last rites that took place yesterday, several Bollywood stars visited Ayan Mukerji`s residence today. Earlier in the morning, videos of Kajol arriving at Ayan`s residence with Ajay Devgn and Yug surfaced on social media. Now, the latest video that has emerged on Instagram shows that mom-to-be Kiara Advani has also arrived to meet Ayan at his residence.

Kajol, who was there with the family yesterday during the last rites, visited Ayan`s home again today to be with the grieving family and take part in the prayer ceremony held in honor of the departed soul. Another video that has surfaced on social media shows Kiara Advani stepping out of her car as she arrives at the filmmaker’s house for the prayer meet.

Filmmaker and Ayan`s close friend, Karan Johar, looked evidently sad as he attended the prayer ceremony for the departed soul.

Kajol & Tanishaa’s heartfelt post for Deb Mukerji

Earlier in the morning, Kajol shared a heartfelt post for Deb Mukerji. While sharing a photo of herself posing with him, she wrote, “Tradition said that every Durga Puja we would click pictures together when we were all dressed up and looking good. I’m still adjusting to the thought of a world without him. To one of the finest men that I’ve ever known. Rest in peace. You will be loved, remembered, and missed every day of my life.”
