Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actor Bhavya Gandhi urges people to understand the severity of COVID-19 and get vaccinated. The actor opens up on losing his father to the deadly virus
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actor Bhavya Gandhi lost his father, Vinod Gandhi due to COVID-19. After his father tested positive for the virus last month, the actor and his family faced a lot of struggle to get his ailing father proper treatment. According to a report in the Hindustan Times, the actor urged people to understand that COVID-19 is 'real and it’s bad'. He also hoped no one else should go through this pain and urged everyone to get vaccinated, at the earliest.
He said, “What happened was Covid. It is real and it is bad. And we are still asking why this happened? It has been very difficult. I hope no one else has to go through this. I just want everyone to vaccinated as soon as possible.” Recalling the time when he had shifted his father to a super speciality hospital, his father asked him where they were taking him and was fine with the hospital where they were taking him for his treatment.
He continues, “When we were shifting him to the super speciality hospital, he asked ‘Where are we going?’ I told him the name of the hospital we were taking him to. He was okay with it. I tried to assure him to stay strong and that he would be fine soon. He smiled and said okay. He was very strong and motivated person.”
As his father passed away during the lockdown, his relatives could not be physically present for the family, but the actor totally understands the situation. “It’s alright and we understand the situation. We have to act accordingly. We can’t get emotional about it. This is not the time to hold hands or hug people. It is better to stay safe and stay at home,” said the actor.
