There just doesn't seem an end to Aditya Pancholi's troubles. Earlier this week his daughter Sana was at a rave party which the cops raided.

Barely had Aditya disentangled himself from this problem when now he lost his mother on Dussehra day, just two months after he lost his father.

Says Aditya, "My mother (Aruna Pancholi) was suffering. After my father went she lost the will to live. This, I believe, often happens when one of the spouse dies after a long marriage. She was in great pain for some time now. I prayed for her to be relieved, either from the pain or from life itself. We did our best to see her cured. But...."

The sorrowed son trails off. "She was only 63. No age to die. Now both my parents are gone."

Aditya's father Rajan Pancholi was one of the oldest producer and directors of the Indian movie industry.

Says the proud son, "He started Pancholi Arts in Lahore which gave a break to the likes of Ranbir Kapoor's great grandfather Prithviraj Kapoor and Pran Saab. I now hope my daughter Sana who's all set to be launched in a film, will do my father's name proud."

About the rave party, Aditya raves and rants, "It was very wrong of the papers to print my son's name as one of the people attending the party. Only my daughter Sana was there and she didn't have a shred of any chemicals in her bloodstream."
