It was indeed a sad day for the Mukerjis, as they came together to pay their last respect to Ram Mukerji.

The Mukerji patriarch who passed away due to natural causes on October 22, 2017, at 6 am at his own residence, was well respected in the Indian film industry. No wonder then big wigs and closest friends and colleagues came to pay homage to their dear friend.

But it was the very first time that mum Rani Mukerji brought Adira along, who also looked sombre, perhaps missing the company of her beloved naanu.

Along with her parents Rani Mukerji and Aditya Chopra, the almost two-year-old Adira came to pay respect to her beloved naanu.

Although at this age it may be difficult for completely comprehend what transpired, but she looked calm and was casually dressed.

While Rani was busy coordinating the memorial prayer, Adira was safe in the hands of her two nannies.

Camera shy and late Ram Mukerji's son-in-law Aditya Chopra was also seen accompanying his wife Rani at the memorial service. In fact, it was his company Yash Raj Films that issued the public statement about Mukerji's demise.

The statement read, "Ram Mukerji, respected filmmaker, beloved father and husband, is no more. He passed away on October 22 at 6 am due to natural causes. Close friends and family attended his quiet funeral at 2 pm this afternoon. Ram Mukerji was one of the key associates of S. Mukerji and one of the founder members of Filmalaya studios and is known for directing films like Hum Hindustani and Leader starring the legend Dilip Kumar. He will be sorely missed by his wife Krishna Mukerji, daughter Rani Mukerji, son Raja Mukerji and the rest of the family."

Although Rani and Kajol are often pitted against each other and said to not share an extremely friendly relation, Kajol accompanied by her sister Tanisha came to the memorial service as well.

Apart from the close family and cousins, Anil Kapoor and daughter Sonam Kapoor as well as other stalwarts of the industry also joined in at the prayer meet.
