SINGAPORE — Jaya Ganesh Isuran, aka Jaynesh, 49, shared a heartfelt message to those who mourn the loss of their fathers – to which he can strongly relate. In an Instagram post, the Singaporean television actor and host expressed his sad feelings.
“Two of my dear friends lost their fathers recently… In a matter of moments, they were gone,” Jaynesh stated. He continued by saying that it hurts him to know someone had lost their fathers because it brings back memories of when his own dad passed on. “It’s been years, yet the pain is still so excruciating. A pain that I have learnt to live with. A scar that I carry in my heart forever.”
