Vishal Dadlani has penned a touching tribute to his father, who passed away the week before. Vishal posted on Instagram the news that he and his sisters had incinerated his father on Saturday, as well as his memories of him.
Vishal shared a vintage photo of his father, Moti Dadlani, in a park with a puppy, posting, “My mother, sister, nieces, and I cremated my father today.” He now walks with me forever, as this ache in my chest. ” The songwriter also included some touching notes on his father’s presence throughout his life.
“Not a day will pass without my saying, ‘Love you, Dad’ and hearing his voice reply, ‘Love you, betu’. He captioned further, “I’ll never be with him again, but I’ll never be without him either.”
Vishal wrapped his post on a heartfelt note, expressing his hope that he would be able to continue to make his father proud. He went on to add, “Just hoping I can prove worthy of him.” He really was the sweetest, kindest, humblest, hardest-working, and most loving man. ”
Vishal’s father passed away on January 8th. He couldn’t visit his mother because he had been COVID-19 positive and isolated at the time. In a previous social media post, he deplored, “He was in ICU for the last 3/4 days, but I couldn’t go from yesterday on because I tested positive for COVID. I can’t even go hold my mother in her most difficult time. It’s really not fair. ”
Vishal Dadlani has recorded songs for films such as Golmaal, Dostana, Om Shanti Om, Ra. One, Bang Bang!, Sultan, Bharat, War, Baaghi 3, and Tiger Zinda Hai, amongst many others, with Shekhar Ravjiani.
