Jimmy Shergill’s father Satyajit Singh Shergill passes away at 90

Bollywood and Punjabi cinema lost a quiet pillar of legacy when Satyajit Singh Shergill, father of actor Jimmy Shergill, passed away on October 11, 2025, at the age of 90. In a statement released by the family, they confirmed the Antim Ardas (final prayer) would be held on October 14 at Gurudwara Dhan Pothohar Nagar in Santacruz West, Mumbai.

Satyajit Shergill was not a public figure in the conventional sense, but belonged to a family steeped in art, culture and heritage. Media reports point out that the Shergill family has a distant link to the celebrated painter Amrita Sher-Gil, reinforcing their cultural lineage.

The news comes as an emotional moment for Jimmy, who has occasionally spoken about the complexity in his relationship with his father. In a past interview, Jimmy remembered that after he decided to cut his hair in his youth, ending a long adherence to wearing a turban, the family remained distant for a year and a half. That anecdote, whether revealing tension or distance, reflects that even in celebrated lives, private dynamics are never simple.
