Nupoor further said, “She is a woman of huge self-respect, and just yesterday some media persons landed up at the hospital stressed her out so much that she had to be shifted to the ICU.”
Nupoor shared with Indian Express, “The last few months, I had been in constant touch with her and hence she developed an emotional bond. As of now, I am trying my best to be around her. However, she needs immediate funds as the hospital might discharge her if we cannot pay them.”
The actor, with over 50 films to her credit, had earlier shared with ETimes, “I want someone to build an old age home for actors like me who are on their own. I don’t have my own home in Mumbai even after working for so many years. I live on rent in a one-room kitchen in Malad. I pay Rs 7,000 as rent. I didn’t want to ask for money, but it’s going to be difficult for me to manage now. I have earned a lot, helped those in need, but today I need help. My savings have dried up. I have spent all the money on my failing health. I have developed serious breathing issues and don’t know how I will manage now.”
