Pratish Vora Recollects The Horrific Incident That Took Away His 2 Year Old Daughter

Fate can often we be so cruel that we can barely comprehend it. In the most unfortunate incident, the Pyaar Ke Papad actor Pratish Vora recently lost his two-year-old daughter when she choked on a toy.

Spotboye recently published a story where the actor recounted the details of the horrific incident that led to the death of his two-year-old. He said, “It all happened at home when we were having pizzas with few friends who had come over. In fact, my daughter didn't stay in Mumbai, just like my wife. They both were in Rajkot and had just come for a holiday since the last 10 days. When my daughter swallowed a cubical piece of a toy, I immediately put my hand inside her mouth. But she bit me. The bite was hard. She was resisting me. I think she got very nervous and the piece went largely inside. My hand hence couldn't reach sufficiently inside and I guess the damage was done in those few seconds of struggle."

Pratish continued, “We stay in Mira Road. We reached the hospital soon, but my daughter had started to bleed by then. The doctors stopped the bleeding but her heart was skipping a few beats. The oxygen levels were fine but the carbon dioxide emission was not enough. After a while, we were told that she was almost normal. But the doctors said that they would need to keep her for 24-48 hours under observation. Then suddenly, she started to bleed again. The heart beats became more irregular. By 1 am, we were told that she wasn't with us anymore. The doctors tried very hard for the last one hour, but it didn't go in our favour. We flew down to Rajkot and laid her to rest around 7 am.”

He revealed that the family is still reeling under the shock, but it is his wife who is his priority right now. Pratish also mentioned how his daughter was lucky for them. In fact, their daughter was born 13 years after they got married and thus was incredibly special. He said, “My wife and I succeeded more professionally after she was born. She is gone and it is going to be very tough for us. I feel that she is still with us. If I try to divert my mind, I still midway through anything and everything I remember her and the whole scenario--- and I suddenly stop. But I won't say that we have lost faith in God. All I can say is that life needs to go on.”

The actor also mentioned how the cast and crew of his show have stood behind him like a rock in these trying times.

We cannot even fathom what this family must be growing through right now. There can be nothing more crushing than what they are going through and we only hope that God gives them the strength to tide over this loss.
