Nushrratt Bharucha's BP drops very low; gets rushed to the hospital from set

Actor Nushrratt Bharucha has been extremely unwell for the last week or so. She was barely even able to stand or talk and before one would figure out what's wrong, her blood pressure dropped to alarming levels where she was wheeled to the hospital.

The film in question is a Luv Ranjan film (being shot in a studio in Mumbai), which Bharucha wants to keep under the wraps (until of course Ranjan makes a formal announcement). The filmmaker was shooting with the actor very well for about 23-24 days until a very strong bout of vertigo struck Bharucha. The shoot has been stalled for now, the balance cast of the project is also not shooting as presumably Bharucha is in most scenes of the movie.

Bharucha herself confirmed the same to ETimes and added, "The doctors diagnosed it as a vertigo attack which has perhaps happened due to stress. The pandemic has had a toll on everybody- emotionally, physically and financially."

When asked how did it happen, she said, "I was staying in a hotel while shooting this film. The hotel was close to the set. In today's times, I felt that this would be good as it would save the time I would take to reach the set from my house. One day, after about three weeks of shooting, I felt very weak and I excused myself from the shoot. I thought I would be okay in a day or so but the next day was equally bad. I reported on the set but a few minutes later, it all went spiralling downward. I could not do anything. They decided to rush me to Hinduja Hospital (Mumbai) and when I reached there, I was still worse. I needed a wheelchair to be taken upstairs. My blood pressure by then had dropped to 65/55."

She concluded, "By then, Mom and Dad had arrived at the hospital. The next 6-7 days were very bad. I did not get hospitalised; I am taking medicines at home. A full check-up has been done and I am okay. I have taken leave for about 7 days more from today. The doctor has advised 15 days of complete rest."

We wish the actor a speedy recovery.
