The Bollywood fraternity is united in sorrow following the death of Sunil Malhotra, father to actor Sidharth Malhotra, just days ago. While Sidharth expressed his anguish earlier, it was Kiara Advani who stole the emotional spotlight with a poignant Instagram tribute, complete with family wedding snapshots.
In her caption, Kiara painted a vivid picture of her father-in-law’s character: endlessly giving, a patient listener, and a master of light-hearted tales that filled homes with laughter. ‘Your affection was unbreakable, your generosity effortless,’ she noted, crediting him for teaching lessons she intends to impart to her own children one day.
Kiara’s integration into the Malhotra family has been heartwarming. She once revealed her ritual of whipping up Delhi golgappas at home to delight her mother-in-law, underlining the warmth that defined their relationships. Sunil’s long battle with illness ended recently, leaving behind a legacy shaped by his Merchant Navy days and unwavering support for Sidharth’s career.
This outpouring captures more than grief—it’s a promise to perpetuate values of tenderness and integrity. As Kiara wrote, his gentle heart and quiet bravery remain etched in memories, ensuring his influence endures through family lines in Bollywood’s tight-knit world.
