At the prayer meet, Ayan Mukerji met the paparazzi and requested them not to force actors for a better shot if they couldn't get one. Ayan took a moment to speak with the photographers gathered outside the venue and shared, “I just felt like there would be a lot of commotion inside. It’s a prayer meet—it’s quite personal. If you feel you are not getting better shots, then I am sorry, but I think, for us, this will be a better arrangement today."

He added, “We didn’t have that kind of space here. There will be some shlokas inside. If there are too many photographers, then it will get very noisy. So please understand a little bit for today. I understand, but you guys also understand a bit today. This is a very personal event for us. It’s not like Durga Puja. It’s very different for us today. We will share some visuals with you later. Thank you.”
Deb Mukerji passed away on March 14. After his demise, Kajol and Tanishaa Mukerji penned heartfelt posts for their beloved uncle.
