Sachin Pariyar

Nepali child singer Sachin Pariyar, best known for his hit song "Otha Kholera," tragically passed away on January 2, 2025, at the age of 15. The young artist died while receiving treatment at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital in Kathmandu. Sources from the hospital confirmed that Pariyar had been battling several severe health conditions for years, and despite extensive treatment, his health deteriorated.

Sachin had been living with a congenital trilateral ventricular cyst, a brain condition that led to him undergoing neurosurgery. In addition, he had been managing central diabetes insipidus, a rare disorder affecting the regulation of fluids in the body, which required daily medication. His medical struggles were ongoing, and despite these challenges, Pariyar continued to showcase his remarkable talents in music and acting.

On December 28, 2024, Sachin was admitted to the hospital with acute fever, seizures, and a state of altered consciousness. His condition quickly worsened, and he developed severe complications including pneumonia, multiple organ dysfunction, acute kidney injury, encephalopathy, and a bleeding disorder. Despite the best efforts of the medical team, including intensive care, ventilatory support, antibiotics, and blood transfusions, his condition continued to deteriorate. On the fifth day of his hospitalization, Sachin suffered severe pulmonary bleeding, leading to a lack of oxygen and, ultimately, cardiac arrest. His passing marks a heartbreaking loss to the Nepali music and entertainment community.

Sachin's career, although brief, left a lasting impact. His music video for the song "Otha Kholera" not only showcased his singing ability but also his acting talents, earning over 19 million views on YouTube as of January 2, 2025. He also appeared in the song "Bar ko Chhayanle," which featured the renowned actor Rajesh Hamal alongside popular singers Kamala Ghimire, Karuna Rai, and Govinda Paudel.
