Ayan Mukerji has been devastated. This is because his father, Deb Mukherjee, left for his heavenly abode on March 14, 2025, after reportedly being ill for a prolonged time. The prayer meeting of the veteran late actor was held at North Bombay Durga Puja Pandal in Mumbai on March 18, 2025. Deb was 83 when he passed away, and his representative shared that the family is deeply saddened to inform of the passing of Mr Debu Mukherjee, an actor and driving force of the North Bombay Durga Puja. Now, Ayan who was managing the prayer meeting in the memory of his dad, requested the paps to not ask for better snaps of stars.
Ayan Mukerji requests paps to not ask for better snaps from the prayer meeting of Deb Mukherjee
Ayan at the venue stepped aside for a moment, spoke to the paps and requested them to respect the nature of the situation that took place and not pressurise celebrities to ask for better stills. Ayan shared that he felt like there would be a lot of commotion inside. Ayan was seen telling the photographers outside the venue that:
“It’s a prayer meet—it’s quite personal. If you feel you are not getting better shots, then I am sorry, but I think, for us, this will be a better arrangement today. This is a very personal event for us. It’s not like Durga Puja.”
