Sudhir Dalvi hospitalised, medical expenses could go upto ₹15 lakh
Sudhir Dalvi’s family has paid nearly ₹10 lakh for his treatment, and doctors said the expenditure could shoot to ₹15 lakh. His wife, Suhas Dalvi, told India Today that on October 8, he faced extreme pain, lost mobility of his limbs and was rushed to the hospital. He was kept in the ICU.
“That’s when we got to know it was a sepsis infection, which has affected all his joints. And since the infection is now in his blood, the recovery has been extremely slow. We never anticipated something like this to happen with us, and thus it’s emotionally and financially a tough time,” she said.
She added, “We are like any middle-class family who has limited savings. Unlike government employees who get pension, actors have no such benefits. So, I would still request everyone to come forward and help us in any way they can. Sudhir needs to be in the hospital for more time now.”
