Television
actor
Gaurav
Chopraa's
mother
recently
passed
away
after
testing
positive
for
COVID-19,
who
was
also
a
cancer
patient.
And
now,
the
actor
shared
on
social
media
that
he
has
also
lost
his
father
to
coronavirus
like
his
mother
on
August
29.
The
Times
of
India
quoted
Gaurav
as
saying,
“I
could
have
broken
down
after
losing
my
mother,
but
I
had
to
stay
strong
for
my
father.
Even
after
this
tragedy,
I
am
trying
to
keep
things
together
and
make
the
right
decision.
I
am
trying
to
support
those
in
my
family
who
are
emotionally
breaking
down,
trying
to
do
as
much
as
I
can.”
He
went
on
to
add,
“There
have
been
times
when
I
felt
that
I
would
collapse.
But
you
have
to
then
focus
on
your
family,
stay
strong
for
them.
There
were
few
good
days,
and
it
felt
like
he
would
get
better
in
a
couple
of
days.
Then
there
were
bad
days,
and
we
kept
hoping
for
better
days.
But
after
being
on
ventilator
since
11th,
he
passed
away
on
29th."
For
the
unversed,
Gaurav’s
parents
had
tested
positive
for
COVID-19
a
few
weeks
ago
and
were
being
treated
at
two
different
hospitals
in
Delhi.
The
actor
shared
a
heart-warming
post
in
his
father’s
memory
on
Instagram
today.
Gaurav
shared
a
bunch
pictures
and
wrote,
"Shri
Swatantra
Chopra
My
Hero.
My
idol.
My
inspiration.
Will
I
ever
manage
to
be
a
millionth
of
a
man
that
he
was
?
Don't
think
so..
The
ideal
man
,
the
ideal
son,the
ideal
brother,
a
man
who
always
put
family
above
everything
else.
An
ideal
father..it
took
me
25
years
to
even
come
to
terms
with
the
fact
that
all
fathers
are
not
like
him..
That
he
was
special
..
I
was
blessed..and
as
his
son
that's
the
legacy
I
have
inherited...loved
and
respected
so
so
much
more
than
I
ever
will..a
celebrity
in
its
true
terms."
