Shivani Parihar shares emotional note following Anunay Sood’s sudden death

New Delhi: Actor and content creator Shivani Parihar has shared an emotional message following the sudden death of Dubai-based travel influencer and photographer Anunay Sood, who passed away at the age of 32. 

His family confirmed the news through a post on his official Instagram account, requesting privacy and urging people not to speculate about the cause of death.

Parihar, who was rumoured to be in a relationship with Sood, took to social media to express her grief. She wrote, “I still can’t believe you’re gone. My heart feels heavy, and everything around me just feels empty. You were my person, my safe place, my life, my everything. I don’t even know how to process this, it doesn’t feel real.”

She added, “Every little thing reminds me of you, your laugh, your voice, your messages, everything. I don’t know how to move forward without you. One moment we were planning our forever, and now I’m here trying to understand how to live without you. I’ll love you for the rest of my life, even if you’re not here anymore. You’ll always be a part of me.”

She concluded her note with, “I love you so much, Rip Hope to meet you super soon!”

The message, later deleted from her account, circulated widely online after screenshots began to spread. Followers described it as heartfelt and deeply personal, reflecting the shock many in the creator community felt after the news broke.

Sood, whose last Instagram post from Las Vegas showed him attending a luxury car event just days before his passing, had previously been engaged to fellow travel creator Brinda Sharma. 

Their relationship, once celebrated online, ended after nearly three years together. In an earlier Q&A, Sood had mentioned that both had evolved over time and chose to part ways amicably.

Following the separation, Sood was often seen travelling and collaborating with Parihar, though neither publicly confirmed their relationship. Observant followers, however, noted overlapping travel destinations, matching captions, and friendly exchanges in comment sections, subtle signs of a close connection.

Parihar, an actor and digital creator based in Jaipur, has worked across regional cinema and independent content projects. Known for her calm and grounded persona online, she has over 250,000 followers on Instagram, where she shares travel snapshots, portraits, and glimpses into her professional life.

Both Sood and Parihar had reportedly been in Las Vegas around the same time, attending the same event shortly before his passing. The trip now appears to have been their last together.

In their public statement, Sood’s family wrote, “We kindly ask for your understanding and privacy as we navigate this difficult time.” The message serves as a reminder that behind the public profiles and online presence, those close to Sood are mourning a deeply personal loss.
