Veteran Actress Savita Bajaj, Who Was In Dire Need Of Financial Help, Gets Discharged From Hospital
Many actors in recent months have come forward and opened up about the financial crunches they have been facing. In the same vein, veteran actress Savita Bajaj had shared about hitting a rocky patch on the financial front and that she was running out of money due to her medical treatment.
Savita, who has appeared in several films including Beta Ho Toh Aisa and Nazrana, had shared that she was surviving on financial assistance of Rs 2500 and Rs 500 from The Writers’ Association and CINTAA. However, the 79-year-old actress recently battled COVID-19 and remained hospitalized for 22 days. She wasn’t able to cover her medical expenses and was in no condition to work owing to her poor health.
After Savita opened up about her woes, several people came forward to help her. She was then discharged from the hospital and had actress Nupur Alankar by her side, who has now taken it upon herself to look after the senior actress.
In
a
recent
interview
with
TOI,
Nupur
opened
up
about
helping
Savita
and
said,
“It
pained
my
heart
to
see
Savitaji’s
condition.
She
has
been
a
part
of
the
industry
for
several
years.
Today,
she
needed
help
and
I
wanted
to
be
by
her
side.
CINTAA
(Cine
and
TV
Artistes’
Association),
too,
has
been
at
the
forefront
in
helping
her.
She
was
in
the
hospital
for
around
25
days
and
I
am
happy
that
she
has
been
discharged
today.
Savitaji
lived
alone
in
a
one-room
kitchen
apartment,
but
I
don’t
think
she
can
do
that
now.
So,
I
have
decided
to
bring
her
home.
I
am
taking
her
to
my
sister’s
place
and
all
of
us
will
take
care
of
her.”
Savita Bajaj, too, opened up about her health and Nupur’s help in her rehabilitation. The actress told the daily, “I am feeling better. Nupur has been like a Godsend to me. She assured me that she would be by my side throughout and kept her word. She visited me at the hospital daily. Nupur and her sister, Jigyaasa, have brought me to their home. It seems like a miracle. Mujhe lagta hai mujhe nayi zindagi mil gayi.”
