Just less than a month after losing his grandma to Covid-19, KL-based Uzbek actor Daler Yusuf announced his father had also died from the disease. He was 53.

"I guess this is the hardest year (I've had) to endure. Today my father passed away due to Covid-19. There are so many wishes and dreams he had yet to fulfil but I believe Allah loves him more," he shared on Instagram on Sept 4, accompanied by a photo of him and his father.
