Filmmaker Kalpana Lajmi Admitted To Hospital ICU

Filmmaker Kalpana Lajmi, known for her acclaimed films such as Rudaali, Darmiyaan and Daman, was rushed to a suburban hospital in Mumbai after she complained of feeling extremely weak.

In a statement, Lajmi said, “Today morning, my heart rate dropped and I felt uneasy. I am a kidney patient and both my kidneys are not functioning properly. Yesterday was my partner Bhupen Hazarika’s death anniversary so I went all the way to Vashi to attend the program. That must have taken a toll on me. So today when I woke up, I felt very weak. I was then taken to the ICU.”

The filmmaker, who is battling kidney cancer, said that according to the doctors, she would be discharged from the hospital in the next few days. Kalpana has been undergoing dialysis treatment every week and is reportedly overwhelmed by the financial support she has received from stars like Salman Khan, Alia Bhatt, Karan Johar and others from the film industry.
