"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 told SpotboyE.
Pratish and his wife ran to Wockhardt Hospital in Mumbai’s Mira Road. Although, the couple reached the hospital soon, their daughter started bleeding by then. The doctors were able to stop 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,’’ the actor told the portal.
However, the toddler started to bleed again and her heart beats became more irregular. The doctors tried their best to save her but around 1am, the couple was told about the death of their daughter.
Pratish and his wife flew down to Rajkot and cremated their daughter. The actor is currently in Rajkot to look after his wife.
"My wife is my first and biggest responsibility now. So honestly, I can't even cry. But she is a brave woman and will come out of this before me," Pratik told the portal.
The actor also revealed that the team of his show ‘Pyaar Ke Papad’ has supported team throughout. He will resume shooting for the show in some days.
He also shared that his daughter was very lucky for him and his wife.
‘’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,’’ he told the portal.
On the professional front, Pratish Vora has been part of shows like ‘Crime Petrol’ and ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’.
