“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.” Kiara concluded: “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.” Sidharth’s father reportedly passed away on February 14 in New Delhi after a prolonged illness. The actor, on February 17, remembered his father as a man of "rare honesty, integrity, and culture."

The actor wrote: "He lived by values that never bent. Discipline without harshness. Strength without ego. Positivity, even when life tested him beyond measure. (sic)" "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. Yash-Geetu Mohandas’ ‘Toxic’ Trailer To Be Released in March 2026? Here’s What We Know.
