‘It felt like the world had ended’; Aadi Adeel on his father’s passing

Television host and actor Aadi Adeel, famous for his comedic roles, recently appeared on a TV show with Mathira.

The happy-go-lucky actor shared some personal stories and spoke about being vulnerable.

“I did not remember exactly what I was angry about with my mother, but I did not speak to her for many years,” he said.

Adeel recalled not talking to her even when he was in front of her in the same house.

“Later, on the day my father died, I hugged my mother and apologised to her,” he said.

“My mother did not say anything to me except that I was her son, and that why would she not forgive me?”

He further said, “The death of my father is the biggest sorrow and shock of my life, and I miss him even today.”

“My father and I had a good, friendly relationship, and I always felt that if anything happened to me in life, if I got into trouble, my father would get me out of it,” he remembered.

But after his father’s death, “the illusion was broken” for him.

“When my father passed away, I felt that the whole world had ended, the colours had disappeared from the world, and illusions had disappeared,” he said.

“I still feel that after the death of my father, there is no one to take care of me, to get me out of any trouble; I am my only protector,” he shared.

It has been 15 years since his father’s death, who died at a young age.
