Renowned
actor
Manoj
Bajpayee
is
making
the
headlines
for
the
most
unfortunate
news
today
as
his
mother
Geeta
Devi
passed
away.
According
to
media

for
almost
20
days
now
and
was
undergoing
treatment
in
Delhi's
Pushpajali
Medical
Centre
and
Max
Superspeciality
Hospital.
Although
the
reason
for
her
demise
is
not
known,
it
was
reported
that
she
breathed
her
last
on
Thursday
(December
8)
at
the
age
of
80.
The
media
reports
also
suggested
that
Manoj,
who
is
quite
close
to
his
mother,
was
by
her
side
during
her
last
moments.
It
was
also
reported
that
although
Geeta
Devi's
health
was
improving
of
late,
her
condition
deteriorated
last
night
and
she
passed
away
on
Thursday
morning.
Confirming
the
news
of
Manoj
Bajpayee's
demise,
his
publicist
released
a
statement
and
said,
"Geeta
Devi
was
80
years
old
and
she
was
not
well
for
the
past
20
days.
Geeta
Devi
passed
away
today
at
8:30
am.
She
died
in
Max
Pushpanjali
Hospital.
Geeta
Devi
was
Manoj
Bajpayee's
pillar
of
strength.
She
is
survived
by
three
sons
and
three
daughters".
To
note,
Manoj
Bajpayee
had
earlier
lost
his
father
in
2021
due
to
prolonged
illness.
He
was
83.
Remembering
his
father,
Manoj,
in
an
interview
with
Bollywood
Bubble,
said,
"I
have
seen
many
downs.
But
yes,
losing
my
father
was
the
biggest
down
in
my
entire
career,
entire
life.
Because,
he
is
somebody,
I
loved
from
the
core
of
my
heart.
He
was
not
only
a
father,
but
also
everything
for
me.
He
was
somebody
who
always
believed
in
me,
blindly,
knowing
nothing
about
what
I
wanted
to
do.
I
miss
him.
But
old
age
is
something
that
you
can't
do
anything
about.
But
I
know
that
wherever
he
is,
he
is
very
happy".
Meanwhile,
talking
about
the
work
front,
Manoj
Bajpayee
has
recently
wrapped

shooting
of
his
courtroom
drama

He,
recently,

"Ek
