Mallika Dua had shared an update on her parents just a few days back, and had also informed fans why she had been away. She had writtten, "I'm on the same floor as papaji, who is very weak and has a really bad cough but is eating better and in better spirits since he has some company in me. Mama has been put on the ecmo plus ventilator. She is partially sedated and every evening we sing to her via the phone and she responds in blinks. Her lungs need complete rest. She needs your collective prayers and goodwill. Please pray her lungs heal. It's a slow process but it does have a success rate. We must pray with unshakeable faith and love. I am constantly. Please keep praying. Please keep chanting."

May the soul of the deceased rest in peace and may Mallika and her family get the strength to deal with the irreplaceable loss.
