In a deeply saddening turn of events, Shah Rukh Khan’s trusted and long-time manager, Pooja Dadlani, is grieving the loss of her mother-in-law, Jyoti Gurnani, who passed away on September 14. The news has sent a wave of condolences across the film fraternity and beyond, as an ambulance was seen arriving at her Mumbai residence with family members gathering to pay their respects.

A Sudden Tragedy and a Rushed Return

Reports indicate that Pooja Dadlani was abroad, accompanying Shah Rukh Khan for the shoot of his upcoming film, King, when she received the devastating news. She immediately rushed back to Mumbai to be with her family during this difficult time. Videos and photos from the paparazzi show a visibly distraught Pooja, who was understandably upset at being filmed during such a personal and painful moment. Her swift return underscores the gravity of the situation and the immense personal bond she shares with her family.

The Khan Family’s Support

Pooja Dadlani has been an integral part of Shah Rukh Khan’s life and professional journey for over a decade. Her role extends far beyond that of a manager; she is a close confidante and a cherished member of the Khan family’s inner circle. This was particularly evident during the 2021 legal ordeal involving Aryan Khan, where Pooja stood firmly by the family's side, tirelessly handling logistics and offering unwavering support.

While Shah Rukh Khan is currently still shooting for King, he is expected to return to Mumbai on September 17. His arrival will come at a poignant time, just a day after his son Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, _The Bads of Bollywood_*, premieres online. The news of Mrs. Gurnani's passing will undoubtedly impact the Khan family's immediate plans, with their priority now shifting to supporting Pooja and her family through this period of mourning.

A Time for Condolences

The passing of a loved one is a deeply private and emotional experience. As the news circulates, many in the industry are expected to reach out to Pooja and her family to offer their condolences. This tragic event serves as a reminder of the personal lives that exist behind the public personas of those in the entertainment world. For someone like Pooja, who has dedicated her professional life to managing one of the biggest superstars, this moment highlights the importance of her personal support system and the relationships she holds dear.

The film world will pause to offer its collective sympathy to Pooja Dadlani and the Gurnani family. In this time of sorrow, the strength of their personal bonds and the support they receive from friends and colleagues will be of the utmost importance.
