Television actress Jaya Bhattacharya has mourned the demise of "Thapki Pyar Ki" unit member Irfan, who was battling COVID-19.

"#thapkipyaarki team...The guy inside this, our Irfan, is no more. He was unwell from a long time. I kept on asking him for his reports to try to understand what the basic issue was that was creating all his health problems since the last 2 years but... Gulab Dada told me of his being in hospital and on a bad state some days ago and then his weak body contracted corona. Today news from Susu, Irfan is no more," the actress posted on Instagram, along with a still from the daily soap where she can be seen hugging a huge soft toy.

"Damn it. This is the second, lovely, hard working, talanted, person I am losing in this manner. I am no medicine person but if we get to the correct doctor at the correct time for correct diagnosis we can save a life...thats what I believe. I feel like s**t right now," Jaya added.

Earlier this month, television actress Mohena Kumari and her family tested COVID-19 positive. They family is living under isolation at home.
