Kiara Advani wrote that Sunil Malhotra greeted her with open arms and unconditional love, welcoming her into the family. Her wisdom had been steady and grounding, her kindness had been effortless, she said. She was really all about the love he had for family and that was at the center of everything he did. She pointed out that he had come every single time, listened closely, and remembered tiny details. Kiara's words showed a man who went about giving, and wouldn't take anything back from anyone. She remembered some of his stories, laughter, calm strength and heart that was tender, which she said those same qualities would never leave her. She recalled in her tribute that his gentle character, integrity and profound love will be alive in his children, grandchildren and all the loved ones who were lucky enough to meet him.

Sunil Malhotra was not only a good father and grandfather, but also a respected person in the business world. It is those same principles of frankness and empathy and self-sacrificing that he learned in these moments that have made an indelible mark on those around him. Kiara’s message captures how his presence (and absence) has made the family — and how much he is not just the family and how they will mourn the absence of his influence. At the end of her note the actress stated that she wants him to sleep peacefully and said that for life he will be missing, loved & remembered. It was a statement that stuck, to many, in a fanatical audience who appreciated the honesty and strength of her testament.

Kiara Advani's sincere message of remembrance goes beyond just a personal note and is a statement of love, family, and integrity. The life and work of Sunil Malhotra inspire the children he departed. In her own words, Kiara has kept his memory alive not only for those who will come to know him, but also for those who will be reading her tribute.
