Sidharth Malhotra’s father, Sunil Malhotra, recently died in Delhi at his home. The former Merchant Navy captain reportedly passed away four days ago. The actor along with wife Kiara Advani rushed to Delhi to attend the last rites and are currently in the national capital to be with the family during this difficult time.
Following his father's death, Sidharth took to his Instagram handle to pen an emotional and deeply touching note remembering him. The actor shared a series of throwback pictures with his father and 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."
