Following the somber news of the passing of Manish Malhotra’s mother, Sudarshan Malhotra, actress Tamannaah Bhatia was among the many celebrities who visited the designer’s Mumbai home to offer her heartfelt condolences. Sudarshan Malhotra passed away on Thursday, March 19, 2026, at the age of 94.
Known for her private and supportive nature, she was a constant pillar of strength for Manish throughout his illustrious career. Tamannaah, who has frequently collaborated with the designer for her red-carpet looks and film costumes, arrived at the residence dressed in simple ethnic attire to stand by her friend during this period of personal loss.
