Rani had earlier said in a statement, "“I'm very very shocked by the news of Dada's passing away. I, in fact, spoke to him just the other day when I had gone to Amritsar, to the Golden Temple where he had called me telling me about my film so we had a long chat, he was insisting to do a facetime call but that day the network was not good so I was unable to video call with him. We were planning to meet this week when I got back but it is just so unexpected.”

Dia Mirza was also spotted arriving for Pradeep Sarkar’s funeral.

Rhea Chakraborty was also spotted at the funeral.
