Priyanka got information of her father's demise late on Wednesday night. She immediately rushed to Ambernath but when she realized her father's corpse would not be taken to Ambernath and she would have to wait till all the formalities are completed.

Priyanka had still not spoken to her mother and was not aware of her condition. The cremation is scheduled to take place on Thursday night.

Priyanka stood still and tearless while the ceremonies were completed.
