I needed time to deal with this tragedy and the lockdown gave me that time.” Meanwhile, as her husband passed away she and her daughter were left all alone due to the lockdown as people could not visit them to comfort them in their grieving period.

He said, ‘Chalo Kruttika, I am going now’ and closed his eyes. He conveyed so many things through his eyes in those last moments, and bestowed his love and strength on me. That gave me the courage to move on and become stronger for my daughter, who was very close to him.” ALSO READ: Imtiaz Khan's Wife Krutika Desai: 'Our Daughter Ran To Call The Doctor Back, But We Failed To Revive Him'-EXCLUSIVE
