Bigg Boss 11’s Priyank Sharma father passes away, says ‘I will make you proud one day’

Priyank Sharma is going through a difficult personal moment as he bids goodbye to his father, who passed away at 59. The actor shared the news on Instagram, opening up about his loss with a short but deeply emotional note. His post quickly drew messages of support from colleagues and friends across the industry.

Priyank uploaded a picture of his father and wrote, Sleep well my Daddy I will miss you so much. I hope I will make you proud one day Rest in peace (1966 to 2025). The message was brief, yet it captured the weight of his grief. Within minutes, the comment section began filling up with condolences from those who have known Priyank personally and those who have followed his journey on screen.

Dhanashree Verma wrote, So sorry Rip sending strength, offering him comfort during this tough time. Divya Agarwal, who once dated Priyank, commented, Stay strong. Many of his followers echoed the same sentiment, assuring him that he wasn’t alone in this moment of loss. Priyank had often shared glimpses of his bond with his father on social media, and the warmth in those posts reflected how close they were as a family.

News of his father’s passing also reminded fans of Priyank’s early years on television. He started out with youth shows like Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya and later appeared in MTV Splitsvilla 10 and Roadies Rising. His visibility increased massively when he became a part of Bigg Boss 11, where his relationships and friendships inside the house drew constant attention. Viewers still remember the season for the tension involving Priyank, Divya Agarwal and Benafsha Soonawala, a track that remained a talking point long after the show ended.

Priyank eventually shifted towards digital projects. His work includes web titles such as Dillogical, Puncch Beat, The Holiday, Jab We Matched, Love on the Run and Runner Up. He was recently seen in Hai Junoon, a series featuring Neil Nitin Mukesh, Jacqueline Fernandez, Boman Irani, Siddharth Nigam and others. Priyank played Kushal Lal, and the show released on JioHotstar in May 2025.

For now, the actor is away from work commitments as he grieves with his family. His message for his father, simple yet earnest, has stayed with many who came across the post.
