Siddharth Malhotra expressed grief over losing his grandmother, several weeks after his father’s death.

A close friend of the family revealed, “Sid is devastated. This is a double blow for him in just a few weeks. He was very close to his father and his maternal grandmother doted on him completely, the affection was mutual.”

Sources say the actor is particularly shocked by this second defeat so soon after the first. As friends and well-wishers gathered to offer their condolences, Sidharth reportedly decided to spend some time in quiet contemplation. Meanwhile, his wife Kiara Advani was seen hosting guests and supporting the family in difficult times.

People close to the couple say that Kiara has been a pillar of strength for Sidharth as he continues to grapple with personal loss.
