What's the story
Rajkummar Rao's father Satyapal Yadav passed away on Thursday night in Gurugram. He was 60.
According to media reports, he wasn't keeping well for a while and was admitted to Medanta hospital for the last 17 days, where he breathed his last.
Reportedly, Satyapal, a former revenue department employee, was cremated on Friday morning, in the presence of his close friends and family.
Death
Had lost his mother in 2016 to a heart attack
To recall, Rajkummar had lost his mother in 2016, while he was shooting for Newton.
It was reported that she succumbed to a heart attack.
Admirably, Rajkummar, who was quite close to his mother, had bounced back to the shooting in just a day.
"I knew that's what my mother would have loved - for me to carry on with my commitments," he stated.
Revelation
Rajkummar added extra m in his name for his mother
For the uninitiated, Rajkummar had once revealed that the extra 'm' in his name was for his mother, who was a believer of numerology.
"She wanted me to wear various rings etc., you know how it is. But I haven't done that. This doesn't bother me much as it stems from a mother's love for her son," the Bareilly Ki Barfi actor had stated.
Information
For now, he is working on 'RoohiAfza' opposite Janhvi Kapoor
