Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 15 (ANI): Actor-comedian Kiku Sharda couldn't hold back his tears in the recent episode of the reality show 'Rise and Fall,' as he recalled the heartbreaking times when he lost both his parents in the span of two months.
During an emotional conversation with fellow contestants, Kiku broke down in tears when he recalled the passing away of his mother, saying that he couldn't pick up the last call from his mother as he was busy in the USA.
Kiku, who was seen inconsolable, recalled, "I was in the US two years back and my mother passed away. I didn't answer her last phone call, I was in America, I thought I would call her tomorrow since I was busy, and the next day she was not there."
Kiku revealed that his father died 45 days later, as he couldn't handle the loss of his wife. He also asked his fellow contestants to stay in touch with their loved ones as long as they are alive.
"45 days later, my father died; he couldn't handle the loss. After a certain age, your partner is irreplaceable. 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," said Kiku Sharda while talking to the fellow contestants.
