With a heavy heart, I wish to share the unfortunate and sad news of the untimely demise of my husband Siddartha Khanna on 09/01/2023 due to sudden respiratory failure. Despite being medically fit and healthy, he collapsed in the morning of this fateful day. In spite of CPR and immediate evacuation to the hospital, we were unable to revive him.

Siddartha was an endearing and loving husband and exemplary father. He hailed from an army background and nurtured family values. He was a kind- hearted person, always willing to help others, happy-go-lucky, and sociable.

Siddartha’s sudden departure has left an unfathomable void in our life. My son Jaagrith (13 years), daughter Hrishata (10 years), and I are finding it difficult to come to terms with this unprecedented loss.

He was working with Western Union (USA) and was the only bread-winner for our family, including supporting his parents. Due to this unexpected tragedy, it has become difficult for us to make ends meet. Our family requests for your financial help to support our children’s education and better future.
