Deepa Mehta, the first wife of filmmaker-actor Mahesh Manjrekar, has passed away. Their son, Satya Manjrekar, confirmed the news and shared a heartfelt tribute via Instagram.

Satya posted a photograph of his mother, captioning it: “I miss you Mumma.” In the aftermath of her demise, numerous friends and acquaintances offered condolences, many of which Satya reshared in his Instagram Stories. One well-wisher expressed, “Lost a guiding light today. She was more than a mother, she was an inspiration. Her strength, courage and passion in building her saree business empowered so many girls to dream big. She will always live on through the lives she touched and the paths she paved. Prayers and strengths to you Satya. May her inspiring soul give you courage.”

Deepa Mehta was a noted costume designer and also ran a saree label called Queen of Hearts, which found considerable appreciation in the Marathi film industry.

Mahesh Manjrekar and Deepa had been married in 1987, having known each other since their college days. During their marriage, they welcomed two children daughter Ashwami and son Satya. Their union ended in 1995, after which their children stayed with Mahesh. Later, Mahesh married actress Medha Manjrekar, and they have a daughter, Saiee, who ventured into acting with roles in Dabangg 3, Major, and Kuch Khattaa Ho Jaay.

As the film fraternity and fans mourn, Satya’s tribute captures both personal grief and the broader recognition of Deepa’s legacy.

By Banglore Film City
Akshaye Khanna’s 2021 action-packed OTT film State of Siege: Temple Attack is all set to make its theatrical debut under a brand-new title — Akshardham: Operation Vajra Shakti. Nearly five years after its digital premiere, the high-octane drama will hit cinema halls on July 4, 2025, offering audiences a gripping, large-screen retelling of one of India’s most harrowing terror incidents. Directed by Ken Ghosh, the film is a dramatic recreation of the 2002 terrorist attack on the Akshardham Temple in Gujarat.

The caption reads, “A...
