'Naamkarann' actress Ananya Soni's kidneys fail; seeks financial help

The pandemic has been responsible for some of the most horrific stories indeed when it comes to people losing so much in their life financially, mentally and in so many other ways.

Lately, we have come across many cases even from the acting industry facing extreme situations and going on to ask for help. Only recently, the case of veteran actor Shagufta Ali came into foray where the actor had to come out and seek financial help for survival.

Now, yet another case has popped where actor Ananya Soni, who is best known for her role in Naamkarann is not just in need of financial help but facing extreme health issues. Her health is currently in its worst and hopes to get some help. Talking about it with ETimes TV, Soni said, "I have been living on one kidney since 2015. My both kidneys had failed 6 years ago and my father donated a kidney to me. Suddenly, the donated kidney has deteriorated and I need a fresh kidney transplant. I never dreamt of such a situation when I was doing shows like 'Naamkaran' and 'Crime Patrol'."

She mentioned that her situation got worse as she even lost her savings, "My mom had a garments business. My brother was doing well. Her clothes and his machines got all burnt sometime ago, when my house caught fire. Sab kuch khatam ho gaya. We are just hand-to-mouth now."

She concluded saying, "They are giving me medicines to bring down my creatinine, which was over 9 when I got admitted. Too much more to go. Dialysis has not yet begun, that will take some time. We are also looking for a donor."

We wish the actor a speedy recovery.
