After a prolonged sickness, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's
father Krishnaraj Rai took his last breath on Saturday.
The cremation took place at Pawan Hans Crematorium. Shah
Rukh Khan, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Randhir Kapoor, Ashutosh Gowariker and Anil
Ambani were among those who attended.
Krishnaraj Rai was hospitalised earlier in January
as well because of which Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan cut short their New
Year holiday and rushed back to Mumbai.
According to the doctor, Aishwarya's father was suffering
from lymphoma cancer which spread to his brain. Aishwarya and Abhishek were
visiting him constantly and were by his side the last few days at the hospital.
