Filmmaker Kunal Kohli has lost his maternal aunt in Chicago to coronavirus. In a series of tweets, Kohli mourned the fact their close-knit family cant get together to grieve the loss. However, he adds that the deadly virus ‘won’t break our love and memories’. Kunal said that his cousin, the daughter of his deceased aunt, was not allowed inside the hospital premises due to risk of infection and would pray from the car park. “This is how harsh Covid is. This isn’t the way to go,” he writes. The director also posted a few family pictures and shared that his aunt was one of five sisters and three brothers. He further added that the bond between his mother and her siblings was so strong that ‘only death could break it’. Check out his tweets here
Lost my Masi to Covid after an 8 week struggle. In Chicago. We’re a large family that’s really close. We can’t be together at this time. This is as painful as the loss. Seeing my Mom Masi’s & Mama’s not being able to be together at this time is really hard.

Her daughter (my cousin sister) would go to the hospital, sit in her car in the car park & pray for her mother. As she wasn’t allowed inside the hospital. Said she felt close to her as she couldn’t see her. This is how harsh Covid is. This isn’t the way to go.
