In a sad state of affairs, Ranveer Singh has lost a family member recently. His grandmother, who has not been keeping well since January, had passed away leaving the Singh family in a state of shock. Ranveer Singh was supposed to be a part of a special press conference for Switzerland Tourism, for whom he works as a brand ambassador, in Mumbai today. The event has been now cancelled in the wake of this tragedy.

Ranveer Singh has often been revealed to be very close to his grandmother and has even spoken about her in his earlier interviews. In an interview to Grazia, he has said, "As important to me as oxygen and water. I am very affectionate with everybody – my fans, my family. I was raised that way. My grandmother mollycoddled me. There was lots of hugging and kissing in my house." His granny has not been keeping well for a long time. In January, it was reported that Ranveer's rumoured girlfriend Deepika Padukone had paid her a visit.

 

Ranveer Singh is currently shooting for Zoya Akhtar's Gully Boy, after which he will move on to work with Rohit Shetty in Simmba. He has also signed to play the lead in Kabir Khan's 1983, a movie about India's first World Cup win in cricket. Ranveer is reportedly playing Kapil Dev in the movie.
