Who Was Sachin Pariyar?
Born in rural Nepal and brought to the limelight early, Sachin Pariyar became known for his sweet voice, young age and the novelty of being a child singer in a non-urban context. He collaborated with names such as Rajesh Hamal and delivered viral music-video hits. One of his most famous tracks, Otha Kholera, amassed over 19 million views on YouTube.
His father, Tejendra Pariyar, featured prominently in media reports, providing updates on his son’s medical condition and helping manage his career.
The Rise of a Child Star
Early Breakthrough
- Sachin became visible via local YouTube recordings in the Gulmi district of Nepal.
- He appeared in music videos alongside mainstream singers: for instance the song Bar ko Chhayanle, featuring Rajesh Hamal and others.
- His youthful look, catchy songs and viral appeal made him a novelty – but as one columnist wrote, this novelty masked deeper structural issues.
Public Impact & Musical Legacy
- The song Otha Kholera showcased not just his singing but also an acting element, broadening his “child star” persona.
- He also collaborated with artists such as Kamala Ghimire, Karuna Rai and Govinda Paudel.
- The enthusiastic reception (e.g., millions of YouTube views) indicates the strong public connection.
Health Struggles Behind the Scenes
Long-Term Medical Condition
- The hospital statement confirmed Sachin had been in treatment for more than five years at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital in Kathmandu.
- He was diagnosed with a congenital trilateral ventricular cyst (sometimes reported as third ventricular cyst) – a rare brain condition.
- Additionally, he was living with central diabetes insipidus, a rare endocrine condition which required daily medication.
Complicating Factors & Treatment
- Reports indicate his treatment compliance was poor. The hospital noted “non-compliance with treatment advice” led to repeated admissions.
- Multiple issues: neurosurgery was performed, but the young singer remained vulnerable.
- One article highlighted how beyond his medical condition, his childhood and protection were compromised in favour of performance and exposure.
December 2024 Hospitalisation & Final Days
Admission & Rapid Decline
- On 28 December 2024, Sachin was admitted with acute fever, seizures and altered consciousness.
- His condition rapidly became critical, with pneumonia, acute kidney injury, encephalopathy, multiple organ dysfunction and bleeding disorder reported.
Final Hours
- While in the paediatric ICU with ventilatory support, antibiotics, and blood transfusions, his health continued to deteriorate.
- On the fifth day of hospitalisation, severe pulmonary bleeding caused oxygen deprivation, followed by cardiac arrest.
- He passed away at 10:49 am on 2 January 2025 in Kathmandu.
Reaction: Industry, Fans & Father Tejendra Pariyar
Industry and Social Response
- Major Nepali and media outlets quickly reported his death.
- A column in The Kathmandu Post noted the tragedy exposed “a society that has traded its soul for profit” and raised questions on how child talents are treated.
Role of Father & Family Dynamics
- Tejendra Pariyar had, in many reports, publicly shared Sachin’s condition and treatment updates.
- Some media commentary raised concerns about exploitation and the blur between earning via the child’s talent vs. safeguarding his welfare.
Legacy of the Young Artist
- Though his career was brief, Sachin’s voice and video footprint linger: millions watched Otha Kholera.
- His passing stirred national introspection: on child performers, health rights, and media ethics.
What Sachin Pariyar’s Death Teaches Us
- Prioritising Well-Being Over Early Fame: His case underlines how early success can come at the cost of health and childhood.
- Child Talent Protection: Institutional safeguards for child artistes seem inadequate; exposure may overshadow care.
- Health & Compliance in Treatment: Despite serious diagnosis, his condition worsened — non-compliance is a risk factor.
- Societal Responsibility: The public’s appetite for “viral” stories may inadvertently exploit vulnerable individuals (as argued in commentary).
- Awareness of Rare Conditions: Very few may understand congenital ventricular cysts or central diabetes insipidus — awareness can foster empathy and proper support.
Conclusion
The sachin pariyar death at age 15 is more than a headline; it’s a mirror held up to a culture of early fame, thin-care systems and the fragility of child-star trajectories. His musical gifts were real and applauded. But the battle behind the scenes – the health fight, the hospital corridor, the media glare – reminds us that every “talent” is also a vulnerable human being. As Nepal’s entertainment industry and society at large mourn, let Sachin’s story also spark change: for stronger protections, mindful promotion and genuine care for our youngest voices.
