I’d give anything to hear you: Shivani Parihar’s emotional note a month after boyfriend Anunay Sood’s passing

The sudden and tragic passing of popular travel creator Anunay Sood has left his community, fans and loved ones shattered. Known for his breathtaking travel films, warm personality and ability to make strangers feel like friends, Anunay’s loss has created a deep void across social media. Tributes continue to pour in from those whose lives he touched, but among the most heartbreaking messages is that of his girlfriend, actor Shivani Parihar, who shared an emotional note on Instagram today — exactly one month since his passing.

In her deeply personal message, Shivani expressed the painful loneliness of the past month and the way Anunay’s absence continues to echo in every corner of her life. 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. 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 b annoyed. But today, I’d give anything literally anything to hear you sing it again. Even for a second. 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.

She continued, expressing the depth of the bond they shared and the lessons he left behind: 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. 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.

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. 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 b annoyed. But today, I’d give anything literally anything to hear you sing it again.
