Shweta Bachchan Nanda's mother-in-law passed away in the wee hours of January 14 in New Delhi at the age of 71 after a seven-year-long battle with cancer. Ritu Nanda was the daughter of late Bollywood actor-filmmaker Raj Kapoor and sister to Rishi Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor and Rajiv Kapoor. She was married to businessman Rajan Nanda who passed away two years ago.

Having kept away from the glamour of Bollywood, she became an entrepreneur, initially in the household appliances business, and later in the insurance sector, which turned out to be a success.
