“Vinod Dua, our irreverent, fearless, and remarkable father, has died. For more than 42 years, he rose from the refugee camps of Delhi to the pinnacle of journalistic achievement, always speaking truth to power. He is now in heaven with our mother, Chinna, where they will continue to sing, cook, travel, and irritate each other,” she wrote.
Dr. Padmavati Dua (also known as Chinna Dua) died in the second wave of Covid-19.
Mallika further said that the funeral would occur at the Lodhi crematorium on Sunday.
Mallika had asked people not to spread false information about her father’s death earlier this week. “Our man is in the midst of a battle.” I’m not sure if this is a lost cause or not. In any case, it’s essential to realize that a life well-lived is considerably more precious than a life spent in fear and despair.
He has lived, and he has lived well. We will honor him regardless of the outcome. He never taught us to be depressed or fearful. “‘Darna Nahi hai puttar (Don’t be terrified, child),’ he often says me,” she wrote in her greeting to followers.
She’d also stated, “In the ICU, my Papaji is in severe condition. Since April, his health has been fastly worsening. He’s also unable to accept the fact that the light of his life has gone out. Vinod has led a remarkable life and bestowed it on us. He is not deserving of suffering. He is deeply loved and respected, and I ask that you all pray that he suffers as little as possible.”
