His nephew, acclaimed director Ayan Mukerji, and niece, actress Tanishaa Mukerji, were seen arriving to pay their final respects and offer condolences to the bereaved family.

Rono Mukerji, father of actress Sharbani Mukherji and brother of actor Deb Mukerji (Ayan’s father), had a career in Hindi cinema primarily during the 1970s.
