Rajani Jain, also known as Chatori Rajani, is one of the most popular food influencers on social media, renowned for her vegetarian takes on international recipes like Sushi, Veg Ramen, Sizzlers, and more. Her Instagram videos, which often featured her husband and son, became a hit, particularly the ones where she would ask, “Aaj mere husband ke lunch box me kya hai?” This simple tagline helped her amass more than 600K followers.
However, recently, Chatori Rajani shared devastating news with her followers: her 16-year-old son, Taran Jain, tragically passed away in a road accident. The news was posted on February 18, 2025, by Rajani and her husband, Sangeet Jain. Taran was reportedly returning home from his tuition when the accident occurred. In their heartfelt message, the couple wrote, “With a shattered heart, we share the unbearable news that our beloved gem, Taran Jain, has passed away in a road accident.”
Fans of Rajani, who were familiar with Taran through her videos, were shocked by the sudden loss. Taran, who was studying in class 11, had occasionally helped his mother with her content, including tasting her dishes. His last appearance was in a reel on February 5, 2025. Rajani’s followers, who admired her lively personality, were left heartbroken by the news.
Following Taran’s death, netizens expressed their shock and condolences, with many finding it difficult to process the loss. Some speculated whether the account had been hacked, but others took to social media to offer their support and sympathy, with one user writing, “What are you saying?? This is very shocking!! I am so sorry for your loss,” and another saying, “Oh my god! I can’t believe this. Life is so uncertain, and May Almighty grant you the courage to bear this great loss. This is so unfortunate.”
A few hours before his passing, Taran had re-shared a satirical post on his Instagram account, which read, “Will I pass 11th grade, or will I pass away?” This led to speculation among some fans that Taran had committed suicide. However, Chatori Rajani quickly addressed these rumors and clarified, “All kids posted the negative story. My son was not suicidal, and he had an accident.”
