fame
Bhavya
Gandhi
aka
Tappu's
father
Vinod
Gandhi
passed
away
yesterday
(May
11,
2021)
due
to
COVID-19
complications.
Notably,
after
struggling
for
a
month
in
three
different
hospitals,
Bhavya's
father
breathed
his
last
at
Kokilaben
Dhirubai
Ambani
Hospital.
Recently,
late
Vinod
Gandhi's
wife
Yashoda
revealed
the
horrifying
tale
of
their
1-month-struggle
for
him.
In
an
interview
with
Spotboye,
Yashoda
Gandhi
said
that
her
husband
Vinod
Gandhi
used
to
take
care
of
himself
and
often
sanitize
his
hands.
However,
he
got
infected
last
month
and
told
her
that
he
is
not
feeling
well
and
asked
her
not
to
stay
in
the
room
with
him.
The
next
day,
he
developed
minor
fever
and
chest
pain.
Hence,
she
immediately
took
him
for
chest
scanning
where
his
reports
showed
5
per
cent
infection.
The
doctor
suggested
her
to
isolate
him
at
home.
However,
he
wasn't
getting
relief
and
after
the
CT
scan,
she
got
to
know
that
the
infection
has
spread
in
his
chest.
Later,
Yashoda
decided
to
admit
Vinod
to
the
hospital,
but
she
wasn't
getting
a
bed
in
any
hospital.
After
that,
with
Bhavya
Gandhi's
manager's
help,
they
finally
found
a
bed
for
him
at
a
hospital
in
Dadar.
He
stayed
there
for
two
days
and
later
doctors
advised
us
that
he
needs
an
ICU,
and
they
don't
have
the
facility.
Yashoda
tried
around
500
calls
for
an
ICU
bed,
but
she
couldn't
find
it.
After
losing
hope,
her
friend
managed
to
arrange
an
ICU
bed
at
a
small
hospital
in
Goregaon.
Amid
this
struggle,
Yashoda
Gandhi
informed
the
portal
that
her
elder
son
and
his
wife
also
tested
positive
for
COVID-19.
Hence,
Bhavya
was
solely
managing
all
the
arrangements
for
his
father.
"Doctor
asked
us
to
arrange
Remdesvir
injection
and
I
literally
paid
the
cost
of
8
injections
for
6
injections.
After
that,
they
asked
me
to
arrange
a
'Toxin'
injection
and
I
feel
so
bad
to
tell
you
jo
injection
hamare
India
mein
banti
hai
vo
mujhe
poore
India
mein
nahi
mili.
I
had
to
get
it
imported
from
Dubai
and
that
to
using
source
and
paying
1
lakh
for
a
45k
injection.
But
that
injection
also
didn't
work
for
him," Bhavya's
mother
said.
Later,
she
had
to
shift
her
husband
to
Kokilaben
Hospital,
but
they
were
not
ready
to
take
him
without
BMC
registration.
Yashoda
further
added,
"They
told
me
to
take
him
away
but
where
would
I
have
taken
him,
he
was
unconscious
and
on
ventilator
there
was
no
hope
left.
I
convinced
them
by
showing
his
condition
and
after
that
they
finally
gave
me
an
ICU
bed.
After
which
he
stayed
there
for
15
days
before
he
breathed
his
last,
yesterday."
Well,
the
entire
struggle
story
is
indeed
heartbreaking,
and
we
can
clearly
say
that
the
second
wave
of
COVID-19
is
indeed
a
nightmare
for
every
section
of
people.
