Kiku Sharda Gets Emotional on Rise and Fall: Recalls Losing Both Parents Within 45 Days
15 Sept 2025 (SCNWire): Comedian and actor Kiku Sharda, known for his comic timing and cheerful
persona, broke down on the latest episode of Rise and Fall as he
recalled a heartbreaking personal tragedy.
During a conversation
with fellow contestants after wrestler Sangeeta Phogat’s emotional exit
due to a family emergency, Kiku opened up about losing his parents just
two years ago. He revealed that while he was in the US, he missed
answering his mother’s last phone call—something that still weighs
heavily on him.
“I was in the US two years back and my mother
passed away. You take time to come to terms—you’re at the airport,
you’re an actor, people are coming to you for photos. I didn’t answer
her last phone call. I thought I would call her tomorrow since I was
busy, and the next day she was not there,” Kiku shared with teary eyes.
The
tragedy didn’t end there. Just 45 days after his mother’s demise, his
father also passed away. Speaking about the deep pain his father went
through, Kiku said, “He couldn’t handle the loss. After a certain age,
your partner is irreplaceable.”
Kiku, who is often seen spreading
joy on screen, used this moment to urge everyone to value their loved
ones. “I don’t know about everyone’s life, but please be close to your
loved ones, spend time with them, call them, stay in touch,” he said,
leaving many in the house emotional.
The episode highlighted a
different side of Kiku Sharda—away from his usual fun and laughter,
showcasing the vulnerable human being behind the entertainer. His
heartfelt words served as a reminder of how unpredictable life can be
and the importance of cherishing relationships before it’s too late.
