Rumours were circulating that Jaya Bachchan's mother, Indira Bhaduri, had passed away on Tuesday, October 22, in Bhopal at the age of 94.

Now, a source close to Jaya's family refuted the fake news, stating that her family has not experienced any loss. "We kindly request fans to remain supportive and to seek reliable updates, avoiding engagement with misleading or unverified information."

"The emotional toll on families during trying times is profound, and they should not have to contend with the added burden of false reports. We urge everyone to respect the privacy of the Bachchan family at this time and to seek information from reliable sources for future updates," said the source.
