Abhishek Bachchan along with nephew Agastya and niece Navya Naveli immersed Ritu Nanda's last remains in Haridwar. Ritu Nanda's son Nikhil Nanda, who is married to Shweta Bachchan Nanda, performed the rituals. Photos of the Abhishek and Nikhil participating in a puja by the ghats of Hairdwar have been shared by fan-clubs. Ritu Nanda, Raj Kapoor's elder daughter, died in New Delhi in the early hours of January 14. Ritu Nanda, sister of Rishi, Randhir, Rajiv and Rima Kapoor, was married to industrialist Rajan Nanda. They have a daughter, Nitasha, and a son, Nikhil, who married Amitabh Bachchan's daughter Shweta in 1997. Ritu Nanda was the grandmother of Shweta and Nikhil's children Navya Naveli and Agastya.
