Earlier

had
flown
down
from

to
tend
his
ailing
mother
who
was
admitted
in
the
Intensive
Care
Unit
(ICU)
of
Hiranandani
Hospital
in
Mumbai.
Unfortunately,
she
breathed
her
last
on
Wednesday
morning.
Post
her
demise,
Akshay
had
taken
to
his
social
media
handle
and
posted,
"She
was
my
core.
And
today
I
feel
an
unbearable
pain
at
the
very
core
of
my
existence.
My
maa
Smt
Aruna
Bhatia
peacefully
left
this
world
today
morning
and
got
reunited
with
my
dad
in
the
other
world.
I
respect
your
prayers
as
I
and
my
family
go
through
this
period.
Om
Shanti."
Aruna's
last
rites
were
performed
at
Pawan
Hans

the
same
day
and
was
attended
by
Akshay's
friends
and

Deshmukh,
