I couldn't answer her last phone call: Kiku Sharda breaks down in tears while recalling his mother's demise

Actor Kiku Sharda breaks down on Rise and Fall recalling his mother's last call he missed while in the US, and losing both parents within 45 days.

"I didn't answer her last phone call... I was busy, and the next day she was not there. - Kiku Sharda"

Mumbai, September 15

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.

As per the format of the show, 'Rise and Fall' house is divided into two parts--Basement and Pent House. The contestants staying in the basement are called workers, while the ones living in Pent House are called Rulers.

Kiku Sharda, Kubbra Sait, Sangeeta Phogat, Anaya Bangar, Aarush Bhola, Bali, and Akriti Negi are currently staying in the basement as Workers, while Arjun Bijlani, Dhanashree Verma, Aditya Narayan, Aahana Kumra, Nayandeep Rakshit, Arbaz Patel, and Pawan Singh hold the throne as Rulers.

The Rulers live in luxury in a fancy penthouse, while the Workers struggle in a basic basement, fighting hard to rise to the top.

From broken trust, shifting alliances, and shocking secrets revealed, the real drama begins when those below rise and those above fall.

The show is currently streaming on Amazon MX Player.

Losing both parents within 45 days is unimaginable. This really puts things in perspective - no career success is worth missing out on family moments. Respect to Kiku for sharing such personal grief.

While the emotion is real, I wonder if reality shows sometimes exploit personal tragedies for TRP. That said, Kiku's message about staying connected with loved ones is universal and important.

As someone working in the Gulf away from aging parents, this hit me hard. We NRIs always live with this guilt of not being there for our parents. Going to call my mom right now.

The part about his father passing away unable to handle the loss is so true for Indian couples. After decades together, they become inseparable. Beautiful yet tragic love story there.

Kiku has always made us laugh, but seeing him vulnerable like this shows another side. Respect for his honesty. Makes me want to appreciate my parents more while they're still here.
