Reflecting on the heartbreaking moment when doctors told Paresh to pull the plug. He recalled:
"He told me, 'Paresh, she’s on life support. Even if she wakes up, she will not recognise anybody. She’s old, and she might not survive the surgery. Her brain has been injured. By waiting, you’re not extending her life, you’re prolonging her death. Pull the plug. This is practical, and these are the facts.'"
For the unversed, Paresh Rawal’s mother had suffered a hip fracture and a strong blow on the head that turned out to be life-threatening for her. However, there was a time when doctors have had suggested Paresh give up on his mother. But the doting son couldn’t pull the plug, and eventually, she had passed away after a heart attack. In his conversation with Neelesh Misra, the actor admitted that he always finds himself lucky not for not pull the plug when his mom was in a coma. He said:
"Our mother had loved us so much that she had not let us pull the plug. She had suffered a heart attack and passed away. I was in Sri Lanka when she had passed away. Before I went to Sri Lanka, I was filing the form to give permission to the doctors to pull the plug, but I couldn’t read anything as my eyes were all filled up with tears. I was crying. I said to myself that I have no right to pull the plug on the woman who gave me birth."
