New Delhi: Actress Sana Saeed, who made her acting debut as a child-artist and played Shah Rukh Khan's daughter in 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', is grief-striken as her father Urdu poet Abdul Ahad Saeed is no more. The actress lost her ailing father on March 22, the day when the whole country observed Janta Curfew amid the novel Coronavirus outbreak. Sana Saeed couldn't be with her father in his last moments as she is stuck in United States due to COVID-19 lockdown.


Confirming the same, Sana informed a leading daily that, "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’s definitely in a better place now."


She further told HT that, "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."

The actress, who went to US to attend an event, is still uncertain about her return and is trying to divert her mind by praying a lot, doing yoga, and has also taken up an online business course.

This is indeed a tough time for Sana Saeed & famiy. Here's hoping that she gathers the strength to cope up with the loss. May her father's soul rest in peace!

Coming back to Sana Saeed, she has been a part of various popular TV shows including 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6', 'Nach Baliye 7' and 'Comedy Circus'. She was also seen in Karan Johar's Student of The Year'.
