She is currently bedridden. She 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."

The actress revealed that she used to stay in a rented apartment in the city. However, after the pandemic struck, she lost work and couldn't pay the rent due to which she had to move out.

I had never imagined that I would ever be at crossroads in life. I had invested a major chunk of my earnings in a business set-up by my husband and me. However, a fire broke out in the warehouse and we lost everything. He passed away in 2003. Aaj main duniya ke rehem aur karam par hoon. It’s very difficult to survive. I regret not saving money for a rainy day and not owning a house in Mumbai," she added before signing off.
