Celebrity talent manager Arjun Sarin confirmed the sad news of her passing on his own Instagram account later Thursday night. As you can see (below), he was heartbroken over her untimely passing as it’s being reported:
The Indian TikTok community has been very vocal in the last 24 hours now, keen to properly mourn and remember her spirit.
Bollywood photographer and social media personality Viral Bhayani dedicated one particularly noteworthy post in Kakkar’s memory, writing in response to her death:
“Before publishing this I spoke to her Talent management agency head Arjun Sarin who just spoke to her last night for a song collaboration and he says she was in a good mood and perfectly alright. Even he has no clue what went wrong that she had to go this way. You go through her videos and you can [see] she was so good in her content, it’s really sad that she chose this path. If you are feeling depressed please dont do this ?.”
Just terrible…

Other users quickly commented on Bhayani’s post, mourning Kakkar’s sudden, unexpected death. One person noted that 2020 is getting “worse by the day,” while another added:
“RIP Siya. We never know what is going on in anyone’s mind or life, we should always pay attention [to] our loved ones. Sometimes they need our help.”
Well put…
As you might suspect from her age, Kakkar had climbed remarkably quickly up the TikTok popularity charts over the last couple years, eventually adding more than 1 million followers thanks to her playful music and dance videos. And as you would expect, many of those fans are now publicly mourning her, leaving photos and clips of her everyone online in memoriam, and more.
It’s always sad to see somebody die, but to see such a young person like this go, it’s just a gut-punch to the soul. So awful.
RIP, Siya…
