Sana Saeed on missing father’s funeral amid Coronavirus outbreak

As the Coronavirus continues to spread like wildfire, several countries across the world have been put under complete lockdowns. Though the authorities have imposed the lockdown to slow the spread of the deadly virus and flatten the curve of its transmission, we cannot deny the fact that it has started impacting people in a much bigger way.

Recently, Sana Saeed lost her father when she was in Los Angeles. While every one would want to be with their families in such a tragic situation, the actress could not fly back to India due to the curfew.


“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 is definitely in a better place now,” the actress informs a publication.

She goes on to say, “My family had decided to do the funeral on the same day and we had only three hours in hand. 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.”

Sana Saeed is best remembered for her performance as a child artist in Karan Johar’s all-time blockbuster film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998). She played the character of Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter Anjali Khanna.
