Social media is also grieving the loss of Surekha Sikri.
Back in September last year, the Balika Vadhu actress suffered a brain stroke and while talking to Mumbai Mirror, a nurse said, “I rushed her to the hospital, and she is currently being treated. I couldn’t get her admitted to any other hospital because of high fees. We do not have that kind of money.”
However, this wasn’t the first time Sikri has suffered a brain stroke. Back in 2018, the veteran actor got the first stroke and was left paralysed because of it. She recovered from the first stroke soon after.
After Dilip Kumar, Surekha Sikri’s loss is indeed a huge loss to Hindi cinema. The veteran actress has played some amazing characters that will always be remembered.
May her soul rest in peace.
