Kunal Kohli Loses His Aunt To COVID-19, Director Writes, “Covid Has Been Harsh To Our Family”

Kunal Kohli, who had been the director of films like Hum Tum and Fanaa has lost his Chicago based aunt to COVID-19. The director, who had also made his acting debut alongside Jennifer Winget in Phir Se, took to his social media to share the news and has also said that the fact he or the entire family can’t go to Chicago right now to be beside his cousin (the deceased’s daughter) makes the situation worse.

Taking to Twitter, Kunal not just shared a picture of his masi along with her 4 other sisters (including his mother) but also wrote a long emotional post. He wrote, “Lost my Masi to Covid after an 8 week struggle. In Chicago. We’re a large family that’s really close. We can’t be together at this time. This is as painful as the loss. Seeing my Mom Masi’s & Mama’s not being able to be together at this time is really hard. Her daughter (my cousin sister) would go to the hospital, sit in her car in the car park & pray for her mother. As she wasn’t allowed inside the hospital. Said she felt close to her as she couldn’t see her. This is how harsh Covid is. This isn’t the way to go. 5 sisters. 3 brothers too, but sisters are diff.Their bond unbreakable. Only death could break it. They taught a family & everyone they touched the meaning of love,family,giving. Covid has been harsh to our family. Won’t break our love & memories. Miss you Masi.” Check out the tweets here:

Stay strong, Kunal Kohli. We pray that the bad days will be over soon!
