Sunil Malhotra, a distinguished veteran of the Indian Merchant Navy and father of eight-time Filmfare Award recipient, Sidharth Malhotra (winner for Student of the Year), has passed away leaving everyone who knew him or followed his son’s rise to stardom heartbroken. Although little information regarding his death has been publicly shared by the family, it marks an extremely difficult time for Sidharth, who has always spoken about how much of a support system both of his parents were throughout his journey.
In spite to being very proud of their son’s success, Sunil and his wife used to live a private life far away from the public, even as their son Sidharth became much more famous. They were known as incredibly down to earth people and did not enjoy being in front of the camera.
The man behind the star
Before he was a ‘star’, Sidharth was a young boy from Delhi with lots of ambition and dreams whose father, Sunil, was a former navy captain who played a prominent role in helping Sidharth achieve a disciplined and grounded outlook on life.
As an artist, Sidharth has stated numerous times in interviews that his parents have been the reason for his strong work ethic, humility and perseverance. Sidharth remains very proud of being a member of a close knit family and continues visiting often during times of success in order to share stories and experiences together.
