Actor Sidharth Malhotra is mourning the demise of his father, Sunil Malhotra. The actor penned an emotional tribute, remembering him as a guiding force whose life was defined by discipline, integrity, and unwavering positivity, even during the most challenging times.

In a heartfelt note shared on social media, Sidharth described his father as "a man of rare honesty, integrity and culture."

Positivity, even when life tested him beyond measure."

Expressing deep admiration, the 'Shershaah' actor recalled his father's journey from commanding ships at sea to facing serious health challenges with courage and dignity.

"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," he wrote.

Remembering him with profound respect and love, Sidharth added, "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."

The actor concluded the note by acknowledging the lasting impact his father had on his life and values.

"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 wrote.
