Gautam Singhania: Vijaypath Singhania, former chairman of Raymond group, refused all speculation of him reconciling with his son Gautam Singhania. Earlier this month Gautam Singhania had posted a photo with Vijaypath Singhania welcoming him to JK House, which coined the 'reconciliation' talk on social media and national media as well.
The development came amid Gautm's divorce battle with her wife Nawaz Modi, in which Vijaypath Singhania has also expressed strong support for the daughter-in-law.
Vijaypat Singhania said he was on his way to the airport on March 20 when Gautm's assistant asked him to visit JK to which he refused. Then Gautam Singhania came online and insisted that he would only take five minutes to have a cup of coffee, said Vijaypath.

Senior Singhania said that this was the first time in 10 years he stepped into the JK house and would never pay a visit in the future.
I did not realize that the motive of the invite was to take a picture with me to use it to spread a false narrative in the media. After a few minutes I got off and left for the airport, said Vijaypath Singhania.

Gautam Singhania recently shared a picture with his father Vijaypat Singhania on X, formally known as Twitter "Happy to have my dad at home today and get his blessings. Wishing you good health papa always," Gautam Singhania wrote caption on the post.
Relations between the 85-year-old businessman and Gautam soured when Raymond stepped down as chairman of the group and handed the reins to his son.
The dispute came to a head in 2017 when Vijaypat Singhania claimed that Raymond Ltd had not given him a duplex in family-owned JK House in South Mumbai. He was later removed as Raymond's Chairman Emeritus in 2018.
