His family suffered a major loss when his wife Medha, in her early 40s, died of cancer in the fag end of year 1999. The tragedy came just about a month before his swearing-in as the first time chief minister of Goa.
Parrikar, although shattered by the death of his wife, not only meticulously exercised powers as CM but also as a good family man.
As a good father, Parrikar would take his sons to eat bhelpuri at Miramar beach in his private vehicle, monitor their studies, go on outing and take care of the entire family as well.
