"Lost my best friend, the nicest and kindest man on earth, last night," he posted on social media.

He was in ICU after a surgery went bad
The Deedar De composer informed his Instagram followers that his father was in the hospital's intensive care unit (ICU) for the last three-four days, getting treated for a gall bladder surgery that went awry. But the elderly passed away late into the night. "I couldn't have asked for a better Father, or a better person to be my teacher for life," he further wrote.
'Can't even go hold my mother in most difficult time'
"I can't even go hold my mother in her most difficult time," the composer lamented, mentioning how the situation was "really not fair." Gratefully, he noted his sister was present to support their mother though. The Indian Idol judge said his sibling was also handling all the necessary matters "with far more strength than I would be able to muster up."
'Don't know how to live in a world without him'
Dadlani ended the post with a heartbreaking confession: "I don't know how to live in a world without him. I'm completely lost." As per the singer, his father was going to turn 79 this year in May. The singer has disabled the comment section for this post on Instagram. But colleagues and fans have been conveying their condolences via various platforms.
