In another video, Mannara can be seen breaking down in the arms of a guest who attended the prayer meet. The actress could not hold her tears back as her father left for his heavenly abode.

Post Raman Rai Handa's demise, Mannara had shared a note on her social media, which read, "With profound grief and sorrow we inform the sad demise of our loving father who left us for his heavenly abode on 16/06/2025. He was the pillar of strength for our family."
His funeral was held in the city on Wednesday, and Mannara was seen giving a shoulder to his bier, while crying profusely during the rituals.
