Surekha Sikri's Health

The actress' agent Vivek Sidhwani told IANS: "Surekha ji is doing fine but she continues to be monitored closely and the next few days are crucial. That is what the doctors said. This is the second time she suffered a brain stroke after 2018 when she had it for the first time. So we will be asking all her well-wishers to pray for her speedy recovery." Reportedly, some of her industry colleagues have come forward with financial help since some initial reports said the actress has been going through a financial crisis and that has been affecting her health treatment. Later, the actress's agent Vivek clarified ,"I saw that report came out yesterday and that is absolutely incorrect. Yesterday we were so occupied with hospital, doctor and everything that we could not even clarify that it is wrong information. Surekha ji's immediate family is taking care of all her finance and she also has her own finances. There is no financial assistance that we are taking from anywhere else.Few film directors and actors and well-wishers have reached out to us, offering financial assistance after reading the report. I want to say that we are financially doing fine. Surekha ji's health is under observation, but please pray for her good health. That is all we need right now."
