Kiara Advani pens a sweet note for father-in-law Sunil Malhotra
Days after Sidharth Malhotra`s father, Sunil Malhotra, passed away in Delhi, Kiara Advani penned a heartwarming note for her late father-in-law. After Sidharth, the actress remembered fond moments and recalled how he welcomed her with open arms.
She shared a carousel of black-and-white pictures from their wedding – one with Sidharth Malhotra and another, a solo shot of Sunil Malhotra.
Taking it to Instagram, the Fighter actress wrote, "From the very beginning, you welcomed me with open arms, steady wisdom, and a kind of unconditional love that grounded us all. Your warmth was constant. Your generosity was effortless. Your love for your family was at the centre of everything you did. You showed up – every single time. You listened with intention. You remembered the little things. You gave so freely, never expecting anything in return."
"Your stories, your laughter, your quiet strength, and your gentle heart will stay with me forever. You leave behind a legacy of gentleness, integrity, and deep, unwavering love. It lives on in your children, grandchildren, and in all of us who were blessed to know you," she further added.
Concluding the emotional note, Kiara Advani wrote, "Rest peacefully. You will forever be missed, forever loved, and forever remembered."
Sidharth Malhotra`s emotional tribute to his father
Following his death, the doting son and Mission Majnu actor took to Instagram and wrote a heartwarming note. He shared a series of unseen pictures with his late father, some from his childhood as well.
Sidharth wrote, "He was a man of rare honesty, integrity, and culture. He lived by values that never bent: discipline without harshness. Strength without ego. Positivity, even when life tested him beyond measure."
"From commanding the seas as a Merchant Navy captain to facing illness with quiet courage, he never compromised, never lost his grace. Even when the stroke confined him to a wheelchair, his spirit stood tall. Papa, your integrity is my inheritance. Your strength guides me every day. Your positivity still holds this family together. You left us peacefully in your sleep, but the space you leave behind is immeasurable. I am who I am because of you. And I will carry your name, your values, and your light forward always. Love you, Dad," he concluded.
Sunil Malhotra, an undaunting former Merchant Navy captain, was unwell for quite some time. He passed away in his sleep on February 17.
