Actor
Romanch
Mehtha's
father
Subhash
Mehta,
who
was
a
doctor
by
profession,
passed
away
due
to
COVID-19
on
April
23,
2021.
The
actor
told
TOI
that
his
father
started
showing
symptoms
on
April
12
and
a
few
days
later,
tested
positive
for
the
virus.
He
was
in
Mumbai,
when
his
father
was
infected
with
COVID.
He
revealed
that
his
father
had
started
taking
regular
medicine,
but
the
actor
asked
him
to
take
COVID-19
specific
medication.
He
later
went
back
to
my
hometown,
Haldwani
on
April
18
and
took
his
father
to
a
doctor.
Romanch
further
added
that
on
doctor's
advice,
he
admitted
his
father
to
a
hospital
immediately,
as
his
oxygen
levels
had
plummeted
and
the
lungs
were
infected.
He
added
that
soon,
his
father
was
shifted
to
the
ICU.
The
actor
said
that
his
father
showed
signs
of
recovery,
but
his
condition
worsened
overnight
and
he
passed
away
within
five
days.
The
actor
also
revealed
that
he
was
worried
as
his
mother
too
was
infected.
Thankfully,
his
mother
recovered.
He
added,
"My
father
had
no
ailment.
His
demise
has
shaken
all
of
us.
It
has
taken
me
a
lot
of
time
to
talk
about
it.
This
is
a
very
difficult
time
for
us.
I
still
cry
looking
at
his
picture
and
remembering
him."
Romanch,
who
is
heartbroken
with
his
father's
demise,
said,
"His
life
revolved
around
his
family
and
treating
his
patients.
He
never
missed
a
day
going
to
his
clinic
till
he
started
showing
symptoms
of
Covid.
I
still
remember
that
we
had
gone
on
a
family
holiday
last
year
before
the
pandemic.
We
had
such
a
lovely
time
together
that
we
decided
to
plan
a
trip
annually.
That
won't
happen
anymore.
My
father
wished
to
travel
by
airplane
and
I
had
planned
a
vacation
with
him
where
he
gets
to
board
a
plane
soon
after
the
pandemic
was
over.
The
loss
is
irreparable.
I
would
urge
everyone
to
look
after
their
parents
and
encourage
them
to
not
neglect
their
health."
