Malaysian singer Mugen Rao, who rose to fame following his stint on the TV reality show Bigg Boss Tamil, hosted by Kamal Haasan, recently lost his father and has penned an emotional note following his demise.

Mugen's post on social media read, "If you have heard me sharing the tough part of my life, this is definitely the toughest. The man whom I got my genes, traits, talent, look, skills, and life from. My dad is no longer with us and has departed to the almighty. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all who poured your condolences, concern, care and wishes. Can’t express how deeply grateful I am for all your love and strength. I love you Dad, and will always be your grateful and humble son. Difficult but will soon move on as I’ve got work to accomplish with your blessing."

Mugen reportedly further added that a memorial prayer event will be held on February 1 at Mugen's residence in Malaysia at 7.30 pm.
