A media report had claimed that Pandit Sukh Ram had passed away in Delhi at the age of 95 years after suffering a brain stroke. Aayush's grandfather was the first man who made the first mobile phone call in India. He called the then Chief Minister of West Bengal, Jyoti Basu on July 31, 1995 as India’s Union Telecom Minister.
