He wrote, "He was a man of rare honesty, integrity and culture. He lived by values that never bent. Discipline without harshness. Strength without ego. Positivity, even when life tested him beyond measure." Reflecting on his resilience, he added, "From commanding the seas as a Merchant Navy Captain to facing illness with quiet courage, he never compromised, never lost his grace. Even when the stroke confined him to a wheelchair, his spirit stood tall. Papa, your integrity is my inheritance. Your strength guides me every day. Your positivity still holds this family together. You left us peacefully in your sleep, but the space you leave behind is immeasurable. I am who I am because of you. And I will carry your name, your values and your light forward always. Love you Dad." Kiara Advani also remembered her father in law with a heartfelt note, sharing moments from her wedding with Sidharth. She wrote, "From the very beginning - you welcomed me with open arms, steady wisdom, and a kind of unconditional love that grounded us all. Your warmth was constant. Your generosity effortless. Your love for your family was at the center of everything you did. You showed up- every single time. You listened with intention. You remembered the little things. You gave so freely, never expecting anything in return. Your stories, your laughter, your quiet strength, and your gentle heart will stay with me forever. You leave behind a legacy of gentleness, integrity, and deep, unwavering love. It lives on in your children, grandchildren and in all of us who were blessed to know you. Rest peacefully. You will forever be missed, forever loved, and forever remembered.

Speaking to Lilly Singh, he admitted how fear and anxiety sometimes made him impatient, especially with his mother, Rimma Malhotra, who had been managing most of the caregiving. He had shared, "My father's not been healthy for a while, and me being scared or angry at times, tend to be a little more harsh on my mother because she's the one who's taking care of the meds. My father's not keeping well to do that and within that I realized... she suddenly... we got up one morning and just having coffee and tea in Delhi and she started speaking about 20 years back...what she had to deal with when we were much younger or when I wasn't there or when I was trying to make my own life." Sunil Malhotra was known to have played a strong role in shaping Sidharth's disciplined upbringing and values.
