Former Miss Universe and Bollywood actress who turned a year older on April 16th in her recent interview to a leading media portal revealed that she lost a friend to coronavirus, and she didn’t see it coming as the friend “was somebody who had absolutely no health issues”.“We lost a friend of ours in mid-March to COVID 19. He was somebody who had absolutely no health issues, so it wasn’t one of those stories where you think that coronavirus only attacks old people or anything like that,” Lara was quoted as saying.
“From the time that we last saw our friend, he was literally gone in 17 days; and if nothing else, it made me realise that I’m refusing to put my life on hold, waiting for this to pass and then deciding to pick it up and live it. You have no guarantees in life! We are all healthy today, praise God. However, you don’t know what tomorrow holds. I don’t know what the situation will be three or five weeks or a month from now when this lockdown is lifted. So, life really is ‘right now’ and you must make the best of it, which means laughing, loving and having a great time,” the 42 year old actress had asserted. The former beauty queen had a quarantine birthday which she spend with her husband Mahesh Bhupati and daughter. Lara took to Instagram to thank fans for their wishes.
