Shivani Parihar’s emotional one-month tribute
Sharing a few never-before-seen memories with Anunay, Shivani penned an emotional message filled with love and nostalgia. She wrote, “It’s been a month today. A month since I heard your voice, since you laughed that stupid laugh, since you called my name like only you could. Everyone keeps telling me time heals… but time has only made me realise how deeply I miss you.”
Sharing unseen memories
While remembering a song that deeply connected them, she expressed her grief and longing, writing, “You know what’s the worst? Our song. ‘Tu chhodiya na haath mera’. Randomly, you used to hold my hand and sing it to me every single time, half in sur, half out of sur… and I’d pretend to be annoyed. But today, I’d give anything literally anything to hear you sing it again. Even for a second.”
Remembering their special song
She continued, “Kabhi kabhi lagta hai you’ll just walk in or call me randomly and say, GOLUUUU MEIN AAGAYA. Why are you getting emotional? I’m right here.’ But you are not. And I’m still learning how to live without you. I still feel your hand in mine sometimes… like you’re gently reminding me, ‘I’m still here, idiot. I’m not letting go.’ And maybe that’s what’s keeping me standing right now. Because even though you’re not here the way you were… A part of you hasn’t left me. It’s in your songs, your memories, your words, the way you loved me. And I’m holding onto that. I’m holding onto you.”
Words straight from the heart
She concluded the note, writing, “You came in my life like a farishta, you taught me so many things, how to live your life, how to be fearless, everytime i used to be scared you’d be like- goluuuuu mein hu na tension mat le. You were my safe space, my home and my everything. I just hope you know. That I miss you more than I ever said. More than you ever knew. More than these words can ever explain.”
