Krishna Mukerji Honored at Family's Durga Puja Pandal

Krishna Mukerji, Rani Mukerji's mother, was honored at the North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja pandal during the family's annual festivities. A garlanded photograph of Krishna was prominently displayed among framed pictures of their ancestors, a tradition the Mukerji family upholds. Rani Mukerji was reportedly absent from the Sashti and Saptami celebrations this year, following her mother's death on September 22, 2026, at the age of 75.

Krishna Mukerji, who passed away in late September 2026, was recognized for her contributions as a playback singer and her association with the Bengali film industry. Her last public appearance was in 2025, where she expressed pride in her daughter Rani's National Award win for 'Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway', though she felt the recognition was overdue.

Several notable personalities from the film industry, including Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar, and Alia Bhatt, attended Krishna Mukerji's funeral to pay their respects. The family had issued a statement expressing their grief and requesting privacy during their time of mourning.
