MUMBAI: A few days ago, it came across as quite a surprise when actor Gaurav Chopraa took to social media seeking a plasma donor for an immediate family member. It was only confirmed later that it was his own father that he was seeking out for and has been tested with coronavirus, currently undergoing treatment. Unfortunately, his mother also tested positive for the virus and is currently undergoing treatment in the same hospital in Delhi. Opening about the whole thing to Bombay Times, Chopra said, “This is a very tough time for our family and normally, I would not have spoken about it because it is personal. But, I feel that it is important to make people aware of how coronavirus spreads.”

It was also in the same interview Chopra mentioned his mother was battling advanced-stage pancreatic cancer for the past three years but recovered and was diagnosed with coronavirus recently.
