He tested positive for tuberculosis and Covid in the hospital," Nikki wrote.

She added: "He also got pneumonia and today morning his heart stopped beating and responding. God has always been kind to me and my family.

"And though we cannot see you...You are always by our side… Our family chain is broken… And nothing seems the same … But as god calls us one by one... The chain will link again. You gave no one a last farewell…. Not ever said good bye… You were gone before we knew it, And only god knows why. A million times we will miss you. A million times we will cry… If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died… We will meet again someday...I thank God he made you our brother while you were here on earth. You are always loved immensely and never forgotten… May your soul Rest in peace!!" She concluded the post by saying that she will miss her 'dada'.
