A
few
weeks
ago,
Ishaan
Khatter's
actor-father
Rajesh
Khattar's
second
wife
Vandana
Sanjani
had
said
that
they
faced
a
tough
time
paying
medical
bills
during
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
Well,
her
statement
caught
everyone's
attention
as
many
people
thought
that
Rajesh
has
become
bankrupt.
The
Sooryavansham
actor
recently
claimed
that
he
has
been
getting
calls
from
several
people
inquiring
about
his
financial
woes.
Recently,
in
an
interview
with
Times
of
India,
Rajesh
Khattar
clarified
that
he
is
not
bankrupt
and
his
wife
Vandana's
statement
was
blown
out
of
proportion.
He
also
admitted
that
he
has
gone
through
a
financial
crisis
and
said
that
the
reports
about
him
being
bankrupt
affected
him.
He
told
the
portal,
"It's
not
that
I
haven't
suffered
a
financial
setback,
but
hasn't
that
happened
with
almost
everyone
because
of
the
slowing
down
of
work
during
the
pandemic?
Right
from
Vandana's
pregnancy
to
now,
we
have
been
doing
the
rounds
of
hospitals
for
the
past
two-and-a-half
years.
In
fact,
she
was
in
the
hospital
even
during
the
lockdown
owing
to
postpartum
depression."
Ishaan
Khatter's
father
further
stated
that
he
was
broke
after
learning
about
people's
thoughts
about
him.
He
revealed
that
people
thought
he
doesn't
even
have
a
penny
to
eat
food.
Apart
from
that,
Rajesh
Khattar
is
also
upset
with
the
fact
that
his
stepson
Shahid
Kapoor
and
son
Ishaan
were
dragged
into
it.
He
said,
"That
was
in
bad
taste.
They
dragged
them
into
it.
We
actors
are
accustomed
to
the
occupational
hazards
of
such
baseless
rumours
circulating,
but
this
was
a
bit
much.
God
forbid,
if
I
ever
reach
that
stage,
I
have
my
family
to
support
me.
Everyone
is
going
through
a
difficult
time
and
being
sensitive
is
the
need
of
the
hour."
For
the
unversed,
Rajesh
Khattar
lost
his
father
in
April
2021,
due
to
cardiac
arrest.
However,
reports
stated
that
he
died
of
COVID-19.
The
actor
is
still
recuperating
with
the
loss
and
dealing
with
the
same.
