Priyanka Chopra's Cousin Meera Chopra Reveals She 'Lost Two Of Her Family Members To COVID-19 In Last 10 Days Due To Failed Medical Infrastructure'

In a recent conversation, she said, 'I lost two very close cousins, not because of COVID-19 but because the medical infrastructure has totally crumbled down.

Priyanka Chopra's cousin and actress Meera Chopra is currently mourning the death of two of her cousins to COVID-19 in the last 10 days.

Losing two of her close family members in the past 10 days has left the Meera both sad and agitated at the same time. The actress blames lack of medical infrastructure the reason for her cousin’s death instead of coronavirus.

In a recent conversation, she said, 'I lost two very close cousins, not because of COVID-19 but because the medical infrastructure has totally crumbled down. My first cousin couldn’t get an ICU bed in Bengaluru for almost two days, and the second one died after his oxygen dropped suddenly.'

She added that her cousins were in their early 40s and their passing has left a deep scar on family, Meera said, 'It’s so sad and depressing that we couldn’t do anything to save them. I’m in a constant state of fear about what will happen next. Every life is just slipping out of our hands. You try till your utmost capacity, but still, you lose them'.

At the moment, the actor is feeling a sense of “helplessness and uselessness” and a lingering fear of losing “more closed ones”, something which she has never experienced before.
