Actor Sana Saeed‘s father, Urdu poet Abdul Ahad Saeed, passed away on March 22 when PM Modi had announced the Janata Curfew to fight the growing spread of the coronavirus in the country. In her latest interview with Hindustan Times now, the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai fame actor talked about her loss and how she dealt with the unfortunate situation while sitting in Los Angeles amid the lockdown there. Sana revealed that her father had been suffering due to diabetes which led to multiple organ failure and he passed away on Sunday, March 22.
The actor said it was around 7 am in LA when she got the news and her world was turned upside down. Sana said she realised that there was no way she could go to India and attend the funeral which, the family decided to perform on Sunday itself. She added that she wanted to run to her mother and sister and hug them tightly but all she could do was to talk to her sister on the phone.
The daily quoted a grieving Sana saying, “My dad was a diabetes patient, and this led to multiple organ failure. It was around 7 am in LA when I got the news and I wanted to rush back home and hug my mother and sisters. The circumstances under which I lost my father were very unfair. But I know in my heart that he was really suffering and he’s definitely in a better place now.”
The actor was in the US for an event. She went on to add that India was observing a lockdown that day and her family decided to keep the funeral low profile. Sana said the family was stopped outside but after the police checked her father’s death certificate, they let them go. “On their way, they were stopped by the cops to check, but after seeing the death certificate, they allowed them to go. Though I wasn’t there physically, my sister kept texting me every time during the ceremony,” she said.
It’s been over 10 days since Sana’s father left for his heavenly abode. The actor is trying to deal with the loss by praying and doing yoga in the US.
May his soul rest in peace!
