Savita Bajaj, known for movies like Nishant, Nazrana, Nadiya Ke Paar, and Beta Ho Toh Aisa, requires financial support to continue with the treatment. The 79-year-old actress is currently hospitalized after facing breathlessness. Actor and Nupur Alankar member of CINTAA EC, who has been by her side for the past four days, shared that she would need monetary help to continue treatment.
Savita Bajaj tested positive for novel coronavirus and was admitted for 22 days. After the discharge, she had faced breathing issues. Savita again went to see a doctor and due to her condition, she was immediately hospitalized and was put on oxygen support.
“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,” Nupur told a leading daily.
Doctors have advised the senior actress not to strain her vocal cords.
In an earlier interview, Savita had shared how there are no facilities available for senior artists who face age-related ailments. She said, “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.”
Savita who has worked in over 50 films, further shared that she had decided to move back to Delhi, her hometown, two decades ago, but no one in her family supported her. “I have earned a lot, helped those in need, but today I need help,” she appealed, adding, “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.”
