Ritu Nanda cremated in Delhi; Bachchans, Kapoors pay tribute, Abhishek consoles niece Navya

Ritu Nanda, entrepreneur and daughter of late Bollywood actor and film-maker Raj Kapoor, passed away in the wee hours of Monday, after battling cancer.
The 71-year-old, who was married to the late Escorts patriarch Rajan Nanda and is survived by son Nikhil and daughter Natasha, was cremated in New Delhi. Amitabh Bachchan, whose daughter Shweta is married to Nikhil, flew to the National Capital along with daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai.


Abhishek Bachchan, who also attended Nanda's last rites, was seen comforting his niece Navya, as she and brother Agastya paid their last respects to their grandmother.


The Kapoor brothers, Randhir, Rishi and Rajiv, along with sister Reema Jain also paid tribute to their sister.




Rishi and Neetu Kapoor's daughter, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, who had earlier taken to Instagram to mourn the loss of her paternal aunt or bua, was accompanied by husband Bharat Sahni at the funeral.


Nanda was involved with Life Insurance Corporation of India and was rumoured to have made it to the Guinness Book for selling a record 17,000 pension plans in a day.
