Rani Mukherjee arrives at Madhuri Dixit ‘s residence
Madhuri Dixit’s father Shankar R Dixit passed away on Friday morning and Bollywood celebrities offered condolence on the demise of Madhuri’s father. He was 91. Rani Mukherjee who shares a great rapport with Madhuri stepped in to offer her last respect to the departed soul.
Dressed in white, Rani was snapped entering her car. Madhuri’s
contemporary Sridevi also expressed her condolence on twitter, “Shocked to
hear about your father. My condolences to the entire family. RIP Shri
Dixit," Sridevi tweeted.
Shankar Dixit was keeping unwell for quite sometime and was staying with
Madhuri. His family was by his side when he breathed his last.
Madhuri said "We'll miss him but we know he lived a full life. We thank
all those who have offered their condolences and prayers."
Last year, Madhuri Dixit returned with her husband and two children to
settle down in India. She said that she is back to India for her parents as her
father is not keeping well. Madhuri Dixit is currently judging the dance show,
‘Jhalak Dikhla Jaa’. Due to her father’s ill healh, the channel has made all
the arrangements to release the diva from the show and they have also made
alternative arrangements to fill up Madhuri’s place. Priyanka Chopra has been
finalized to replace Madhuri and they have also planned to give a tribute to
Mads by performing to a medley of her popular numbers.
However, the makers shot the episode with Madhuri as she was present on
Thursday shoot.
A source from the show informs, "We were to shoot today also, but it has
been called off keeping in mind Madhuri's loss. Half the portion of the finale
episode has already been shot and Madhuri may not be there to shoot for the
remaining half."
Our deepest condolence to Madhuri and her family!
