The 75-year-old actress was rushed to Criticare Hospital in the city’s Juhu locality and is currently in the ICU.
Sikri’s nurse said the three-time National Award winner actress’ financial condition was not good, adding that she could not get her admitted to any other hospital owing to high expenses, according to a report in timesoftindia.com. She appealed to the film fraternity to come forward and pitch in with financial aid for the actress.
Despite keeping unwell, Sikri was active on the screen. She was last seen in Zoya Akhtar’s segment of the Netflix film anthology ‘Ghost Stories’, which released in January. In 2018, she was seen in a delightful role in the comedy hit, ‘Badhaai Ho’.
