Senior actress Sunita Shirole, who has featured in Salman Khan-starrer Bajrangi Bhaijaan, is currently going through a major financial crisis.

Sunita revealed that she was working till the pandemic struck, however, due to multiple health ailments, the actress can't continue her work in the industry.

In an interview with Times of India, Sunita Shirole said, "I was working till the pandemic struck. I used up all my savings to survive during this period. Unfortunately, I had to be hospitalised around that time with a kidney infection and acute knee pain. If that wasn't bad enough, I fell twice in the hospital and fractured my left leg. I can't bend it anymore. I have undergone angioplasty in the past, and I am battling other ailments, too."

While revealing about her other health issues, Sunita Shirole said, "I want to start working because I need the money, but the condition of my leg is deteriorating, and I don't know if I will be able to walk again. I need financial help till I get back on my feet."
