In a tragic piece of news, actor Ayushmann Khurrana's father Pandit P Khurana passed away earlier today. As per initial reports, he was battling heart problems and was seeking treatment at a private hospital in Mohali , where the actor and his brother Aparshakti Khurana hail from.
An official spokesperson of Aparshakti released a statement that said, "It’s with our deep sadness to inform that Ayushmann and Aparshakti Khurana’s father, Astrologer P Khurana passed away this morning at 10:30am in Mohali, owing to a prolonged incurable ailment. We are indebted for all your prayers and support during this time of personal loss”.
Pandit P Khurana was a renowned astrologer and had authored many books on the subject.
Ayushmann was extremely close to his father. Through an insta post sometime back, he had penned a note for him that read, "We got it from him. The discipline. The love for music, poetry, films and art. He studied law but was always intrigued by astrology. He’s the reason behind the double Ns and double Rs in my name. At the same time he also taught us that we have the ability to carve out our own destiny and our good karma can supersede any soothsayer. My friend, philosopher and guide. My father.”
We at ETimes send out our condolences to the entire family in this tragic time. (
