The actor’s mother was admitted to the ICU of Mumbai’s Hiranandani Hospital after her health condition deteriorated. Due to which, Akshay rushed back to Mumbai from London, to stay beside his ailing mother. Today, much to everyone’s dismay, Akshay informed on his Twitter about his mother passing away. Akshay revealed he is in unbearable pain as his mother was the core of his existence. Now, as the funeral is taking place in Vile Parle, Akshay, his wife Twinkle Khanna and daughter Nitara were seen arriving at the funeral.

Akshay’s note on Twitter read, “She was my core. And today I feel an unbearable pain at the very core of my existence. My maa Smt Aruna Bhatia peacefully left this world today morning and got reunited with my dad in the other world. I respect your prayers as I and my family go through this period. Om Shanti” After that, Ajay Devgn, Nimrat Kaur, Rakul Preet Singh, Parineeti Chopra, Dia Mirza, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Hansal Mehta and more even shared their condolence messages on social media.
