During the interview, Gaurav Chopra also shared about his mother’s illness, how she battled it like a strong woman and also how his father was never aware of her demise as he was on the ventilator. Talking about his mother’s health condition, Gaurav told Mirror, “My mother was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer three-and-a-half years ago. The doctors gave her just four-six months, but the brave lady, who’d been a school principal, defied all the odds and was singing, dancing, travelling and celebrating every festival. Cancer couldn’t beat her, the coronavirus did. For the first time, I saw her undying spirit dented.”

Gaurav Chopra further stated, “My mother died while my father was on the ventilator. So, he didn’t hear the news. Their last conversations were about each other. For the last three-and-a-half years, my father was taking care of my mother and that’s how they left, together. My mother was doing fine until she learnt about dad. The day she stopped speaking to him, her condition deteriorated, day by day.” The popular television actor who lost the two most precious people in his life also mentions, “Normally, when one parent passes away, the other is there to guide you. But here, I had to take on that mantle.” Gaurav Chopra's Mother Passes Away.
