Deb Mukherjee’s death

According to PTI, Deb died on March 14 morning after a prolonged illness at his home. He was 83. His representative said: “We are deeply saddened to inform you of the passing of Mr. Debu Mukherjee, an actor and driving force of the North Bombay Durga Puja. He left us this morning.” His last rites were performed at the Pawan Hans Crematorium in Juhu in suburban Mumbai.

Ayan’s cousin, actor Kajol, who was reeling from the death of her uncle, stated that she is still adjusting to the thought of a ‘world without him.’ She posted a picture of hers and Deb from one of their famous Durga puja celebrations in Mumbai on Instagram, writing, “I'm still adjusting to the thought of a world without him. To one of the finest men I've ever known. Rest in peace. You will be loved, remembered, and missed every day of my life. #debumukherji #youareloved.”
