Rajkumar Kohli, veteran filmmaker and father of actor Armaan Kohli passed away on 24 November at the age of 93. According to media reports, Rajkumar Kohli, who was in his 90s was found in an unresponsive state inside the bathroom. Later, he was taken to the hospital; however, was declared dead on arrival. He reportedly passed away due to a heart attack. Days after the filmmaker’s unfortunate demise, a prayer meet was held in Mumbai on Sunday, 27 November, where many notable celebrities including actors like Sunny Deol, Shatrughan Sinha, and Jackie Shroff were seen in attendance. While pictures from the prayer meet are already going viral on the internet, it was the Gadar 3 actor’s reaction that has left fans upset. In a few pictures and videos going viral on social media, Sunny Deol can be seen sharing a laugh as he stands with a few other guests. Standing at the entrance of the venue, the Sun-n-Sand Hotel in Mumbai, Sunny Deol right before leaving the prayer meet was seen talking with a few others including Vindu Dara Singh. However, this didn’t go well with fans as many criticised the actor, calling him “shameless” and “disrespectful.” Many shared the pictures and videos of the particular moment across social media platforms and criticised Sunny Deol’s behavior.
