'We're Still Coping With The Loss': Vihaan's Parents Break Their Silence

"We are trying to find a new purpose in life," said the parents of Vihaan Srivastav, the 11-year-old boy killed when a tree fell on his school bus in Mumbai's Chembur area on June 30.

Speaking to NDTV's Shiv Aroor on Friday, Gaurav and Juhi Srivastav described how their daily existence had revolved around their only son and how they are now considering channelling their grief into initiatives to support underprivileged children through cricket scholarships and education.

"We are still coping up with the loss of Vihaan. We are trying to find a new purpose in life. Earlier, everything was around him, our job, our trips, our weekends. Now he is gone, he was the only son we had. The thought which is coming to our mind is that he loved cricket and was passionate about studies. So, if something we could do for underprivileged children, to sponsor some kind of cricket scholarship or education for them, maybe we can live with this kind of purpose and go forward in our life," Vihaan's father Gaurav Srivastav told NDTV.
