Reflecting on the same, he said, "As a child, me walking down the street or the market always knew that I was recognised as his son, by all. That the shopkeeper will greet me and take lesser money because I was his son...was something that I was used to.. This: when he didn't even know of their existence."

In the end, Gaurav clearly stated that no amount of time will ever fill the void that he's going to have from now onwards in his life, after the demise of his father on August 29, 2020. He wrote, "It was a regular affair to find some unknown person at our gates bringing along a guest who was looking for our house. All you had to say was "Chopra Saab's house? " And anybody in that vast radius would bring you to the correct place. The love, warmth and generosity that he had .. the idealism, the strength... An ideal husband..devoted his entire existence towards making my mother better in these last four years. To the point of getting a disease trying to protect her and then leaving all of us to keep her company.. She left us on the 19th, and he did on the 29th..10 days ..and they're both gone. A void, vacuum that no amount of time will ever fill #MerePapa." (Also Read: Shahid Kapoor's Daughter, Misha Is Obsessed With Her Jewellery Collection Just Like Her Mom, Mira)
