It

tough
time
for
everyone
because

are
facing
rough
times.
First
it
was
Paras
Kalnawat,
who
lost
his
father
and
now,
Ashish
Mehrotra's
father
passed
away.
Ashish
shared
a
few
pictures
and
videos
of
his
father
and
wrote
emotional
notes.
He
wrote,
"My

step...This
is

i

Sharing
a
video
of
happy
moments
with
his
father
and
family,
the
actor
wrote,
"My
uncomfortable
hugging
champ..You

the
inside
you

...
&
this
more
will
never
be
enough...Our
