Sana
Saeed,
who
played
Shah
Rukh
Khan's
on-screen
daughter,
Anjali
in
Kuch
Kuch
Hota
Hai,
lost
her
ailing
father,
Urdu
poet
Abdul
Ahad
Saeed
on
the
day
of
Janta
Curfew
(March
22,
2020).
The
most
heartbreaking
part
is
that
the
actress
couldn't
be
with
him
in
his
final
moments,
as
she
was
miles
away
in
Los
Angeles,
amid
the
novel
Coronavirus
lockdown.
The
Student
Of
The
Year
actress
opened
up
about
her
father's
demise
and
told
Hindustan
Times,
"My
dad
was
a
diabetes
patient,
and
this
led
to
multiple
organ
failure.
It
was
around
7
am
in
LA
when
I
got
the
news
and
I
wanted
to
rush
back
home
and
hug
my
mother
and
sisters.
The
circumstances
under
which
I
lost
my
father
were
very
unfair.
But
I
know
in
my
heart
that
he
was
really
suffering
and
he's
definitely
in
a
better
place
now."
Saeed,
who
went
to
the
US
for
an
event,
couldn't
fly
back
home
because
of
the
Coronavirus
lockdown.
Further,
owing
to
the
Janta
Curfew,
on
the
day
of
her
father's
death,
her
family
decided
to
keep
the
funeral
low
profile
to
avoid
a
large
gathering.
"My
family
had
decided
to
do
the
funeral
on
the
same
day
and
we
had
only
three
hours
in
hand.
On
their
way,
they
were
stopped
by
the
cops
to
check,
but
after
seeing
the
death
certificate,
they
allowed
them
to
go.
Though
I
wasn't
there
physically,
my
sister
kept
texting
me
every
time
during
the
ceremony," Sana
further
told
the
tabloid.
The
Kuch
Kuch
Hota
Hai
actress
is
currently
stuck
in
the
US.
She
is
keeping
herself
occupied
by
praying
and
doing
yoga.
She
has
also
enrolled
herself
in
an
online
business
course.
