A day before banker and promoter of Centurion Bank and MD of 20th Century Finance Devendra Ahuja, 74, passed away, son-in-law and actor Bobby Deol was shootingu00a0 inu00a0 Toronto with buddy Akshay Kumar for Anees Bazmi'su00a0Thank You. Deol was unable to concentrate on his shootu00a0 because he was concerned about his father-in-law's health.
Filmmaker Samir Karnik, a family friend, says Deol was expected to shoot a love song this week in Agra. "Bobby has been concerned about his father-in-law's health ever since theu00a0 property dispute erupted."
Ahuja had apparently disinherited his son Vikram, andu00a0wanted to leave a large chunk of his fortune to daughter Tanya and son-in-law Bobby Deol. After I-T officials raided Ahuja's Nariman Point residence and office on May 10, they recovered documents that proved that Ahuja had transferred a major part of his property to his daughter. The public dispute left the Deols in an embarrassing position.
Deol told close friends he didn't want to be part of the wealth dispute.
Says a close family friend, "All he ever wanted was foru00a0 peace in his wife'su00a0 family, andu00a0 his father-in-law to beu00a0 healthy."
When news of Ahuja's illness reached Deol in Toronto, he wanted to return. Kumar who has connections in Canada made arrangements for his return.
Ahuja died of a cardiac arrest on Saturday morning. Deol was expected to return to the city on Saturday night via London. The funeral is expected to take place on Sunday.
