Gaurav Chopraa’s father succumbs to Covid-19 ten days after the demise of his mother

Television actor Gaurav Chopraa lost his mother to cancer on August 19 and sadly his father died of Covid-19 on August 29. The devastated actor took to his social media handle to pen a heartfelt note for his ‘hero’.

Gaurav’s parents had tested positive for Covid-19 and were undergoing treatment in Delhi. Mourning the death of his father, Gaurav shared some throwback pictures of his parents and remembering his father he 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 be..a celebrity in its true terms. As a child, me walking down the street or the market always knew that I was recognised as his son. By all. That the shopkeeper will greet me and take lesser money because I was his son…was something that I was used to.. This: when he didn’t even know of their existence.”

The actor further wrote, “It was a regular affair to find some unknown person at our gates bringing along a guest who was looking for our house. All you had to say was “Chopra Saab’s house? ” And anybody in that vast radius would bring you to the correct place. The love,warmth and generosity that he had .. the idealism, the strength…An ideal husband..devoted his entire existence towards making my mother better in these last four years. To the point of getting a disease trying to protect her and then leaving all of us to keep her company..She left us on the 19th and he did on the 29 th..10 days ..and they’re both gone…A void, vacuum that no amount of time will ever fill(sic).”

Gaurav’s mother had also tested positive for novel coronavirus and was battling pancreatic cancer.
