The funeral, held in Mumbai, witnessed a gathering of close family, friends, and members of the film fraternity. His daughter, actress Sharbani Mukherjee, was seen surrounded by loved ones. Among those who came to pay their last respects were filmmaker Ayan Mukerji and actress Tanishaa Mukerji, who were spotted braving Mumbai’s rains to be by their cousin’s side during the final rites.
Several other notable industry figures attended the funeral, including director Ashutosh Gowariker and his wife Sunita Gowariker, veteran adman and actor Bharat Dabholkar, and actress Juhi Babbar. Their presence was a testament to the respect Rono Mukherjee commanded in the industry and the impact his family has had across generations in Bollywood.
Rono Mukherjee’s passing comes just months after the loss of his younger brother, actor Deb Mukherjee, who died on March 14, 2024. The Mukherjee family's contribution to Indian cinema spans decades, with members like Joy Mukherjee, Shomu Mukherjee, and their descendants continuing to shape Bollywood. With Rono Mukherjee’s demise, the industry mourns not just a filmmaker, but a cherished figure in its rich legacy.
