Shantirani Devi, the mother of veteran actor-turned-politician Mithun Chakraborty, died on Thursday (July 6) in Mumbai. She had been suffering from geriatric difficulties for quite some time, according to many media sources.

However, the precise cause of her death is unknown.

Kunal Ghosh wrote on Twitter, “Heartfelt condolences to Mithun Chakraborty for the loss of his mother. May Mithunda and her family bear this deep grief.”
