Nandish Singh Sandu on losing brother to cancer: He couldn’t finish watching first episode of Jubilee

Actor Nandish Singh Sandhu talks about fulfilling the last wish of his brother, to never compromise with the work, no matter what the situation is.

Actor Nandish Singh Sandhu experienced the biggest high of his career so far with the success of web show Jubilee, but at the same time, he witnessed an irreplaceable loss in his personal life. The actor’s younger brother, Onkar Singh Sandhu lost his battle to cancer while Nandish was busy with promotions of Jubilee.

Nandish Singh Sandhu recently lost his brother to cancer.

Calling it the “biggest loss of life”, Nandish , says, “He was the closest to me in the family. We grew up together in Rajasthan. He was not even a brother but a baby to me. I used to treat him like my baby, though he was four and a half years younger to me.”

Despite the unbearable pain he was feeling to see his brother struggling, Nandish never allowed challenges in his personal life to overshadow his work commitments. “Apart from my responsibility towards the project (Jubilee), I think it was his wish. He always wanted good things for me. He always said, ‘Bhaiyya, whatever happens, work is the biggest thing. You should never compromise on that, no matter what the situation is.’ The conversations we used to always have, even while he was not well, were always about what is going on with me. He wanted to watch Jubilee but couldn’t even complete the first episode because of his deteriorating health,” shares Nandish.

Having gone through the pain of losing his brother, Nandish is now trying to focus on work and do more to make his late brother proud. “I wanted him to see the complete show and be there to see all the appreciation coming for it. But unfortunately, he is not there. So that void is always going to be there. When one of the best shows of my life happened, he’s not there to see the all the appreciation and all the success,” he ends.
