Shri Swatantra Chopra My Hero. My idol. My inspiration. . Will I ever manage to be a millionth of a man that he was ? Don't think so.. The ideal man , the ideal son,the ideal brother, a man who always put family above EVERYTHING else. An ideal father …it took me 25 years to even come to terms with the fact that all fathers are not like him.. That he was special .. I was blessed..and as his son that's the legacy I have inherited…loved and respected so so much more than I ever will be..a celebrity in its true terms. 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. 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 29 th.. 10 days ..and they're both gone.. A void , vacuum that no amount of time will ever fill… #MerePapa

The beauty that did not need any kind of accentuation. It stood out .loved by all. To the point of seeming like her fans. . . Inspired so many..as a teacher, as a principal,as a colleague ,as a friend ,as a human being pursuing spiritual growth over everything else.. I can go on and on .about a million things..she introduced me to everything in life ..my strength..my source.. #MeriMaa was the strongest..”

Gaurav was nominated for the Oscars for his role in the Hollywood movie Blood Diamond, which starred Leonardo DiCaprio in the lead role. He gained name and recognition after he entered the Bigg Boss house for season 10. Gaurav Chopra lost his mother on August 19, and today after 10 days, the actor lost his father. It is heartbreaking for someone who is now having no one who could be called as parents.

He shared an event when he was once called and recognised by his father’s name. He shared just by saying Chopra Sahab you will be directed to his house. He further added that the love ,warmth and generosity that he had, the idealism, the strength. An ideal husband who devoted his entire existence towards making his mother better in these last four years. He expressed his feeling, a void, vacuum that no amount of time will ever fill, when his parents are gone forever.

He shared a post memorizing his mother who battled with cancer from last three years ago, and with the continuous chemo treatment for 3 years. This year has taken away many lives consecutively in a row. Corona pandemic has shaken the world, and has created a fear in every single mind.
