The actor urged the public to be very mindful of the virus when he was interviewed by Daily Sun after losing his dad to the virus and contracting it himself. He revealed how sad he was after failing as his dad’s first child to plan for his funeral and even attending the funeral because he is in quarantine.
Speaking to the publication the star said:
Covid-19 has brought me a double heartache. While fighting it, I’m also hurting that I couldn’t bid farewell to my father or even arrange his funeral arrangement as his firstborn. I didn’t have a choice but to protect everyone. This is the time to be safe and protect each other. It hurts that our parents are leaving because of this pandemic.
When quizzed about how he is doing in self isolation the actor said:
I will check again to make sure the virus is gone. Right now I’m feeling better, but I have a little chest pain.
