Mumbai: Sana Saeed who made her Bollywood debut as a child artist and featured the role of Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, lost her father, Urdu poet Abdul Ahad Saeed, during the Janata Curfew amid the coronavirus outbreak. Sana wasn’t able to mark her presence in funeral as she is stuck in Los Angeles due to COVID-19 lockdown.

Sana told a leading daily, "My dad was a diabetes patient, and this led to multiple organ failure. It was around 7 am in LA when I got the news and I wanted to rush back home and hug my mother and sisters. The circumstances under which I lost my father were very unfair. But I know in my heart that he was really suffering and he's definitely in a better place now."
She added, "My family had decided to do the funeral on the same day and we had only three hours in hand. On their way, they were stopped by the cops to check, but after seeing the death certificate, they allowed them to go. Though I wasn't there physically, my sister kept texting me every time during the ceremony."

The actor, who is grief-striken, shared a note on Instagram recently. "It takes a very strong individual to sit with themselves, calm their storms, and heal all of their issues without trying to bring someone else into that chaos. Your journey into self-love is just that and yes, you are doing it," she posted.
In 2012, Sana appeared in a supporting role in Karan Johar’s Student Of The Year along with the main leads Sidharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt.
