She described him as someone who “showed up every single time,” listening with deep intention and offering quiet, unwavering support. “His life was a legacy of gentleness, integrity, and deep, unwavering love,” she wrote, adding that it would live on through his children and grandchildren.
Her husband, Sidharth Malhotra, had also shared a tribute a day earlier, describing his father as a man of rare honesty and discipline who faced his health battles, including a stroke, with immense grace.
The couple traveled to Delhi immediately following his passing to perform the last rites and be with family during the mourning period.
