Received this sad message from Jay Gupta son of Hemen Gupta

"It is with some sadness I have to report that a few hours back, Jayanta Mukherji (alias Babu), the only son of music director/singer Hemant Kumar passed away peacefully at his Khar, Mumbai residence. He was in his late 70’s and had diabetes for the past several decades. Plus, he also was suffering from other medical complications. We were family friends and I had known him since our toddler years. He leaves behind his wife Mausumi Chatterji, a daughter and his sister Ranu Mukherji. May his soul RIP."
