Kiara took to Instagram, where she shared two monochrome pictures. The first featured her along with her father-in-law, husband Sidharth, and mother-in-law. The other photograph featured only her father-in-law.
In the caption, she 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 effortless. Your love for your family was at the center of everything you did. You showed up — every single time. You listened with intention.”
She added, “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. Rest peacefully. You will forever be missed, forever loved, and forever remembered.”
About Sidharth Malhotra’s father
Sunil Malhotra, a former Merchant Navy captain, was known to be an important influence in Sidharth’s upbringing and career journey. His passing marks a profound personal loss for the actor. Sunil Malhotra was reportedly unwell for some time. Back in March 2025, Sidharth had spoken about his father’s health.
During a conversation with Lilly Singh, he said, “My father’s not been healthy for a while, and me being scared or angry at times tends to make me a little more harsh on my mother because she’s the one who’s taking care of the meds.”
The actor remembered his father as a man of “rare honesty, integrity, and culture.”
A part of his note read, “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,” added the Shershaah actor.
