Posting his condolences, Kailash prayed for strength to the family. “Elder brother Shaan’s mother passed away. Prayers to the Almighty for the salvation of the departed soul.

In an interview in 2014, Shaan had credited his mother for encouraging him to pursue his career as a singer. His father had passed away when he was just 14. She raised him and his sister Sagarika single-handedly.
