Smita Singh

Smita Singh who played Sonali in Kkusum and Chameli in Woh Rehne Wali Mehlon Ki suddenly disappeared last year. She stopped answering phone calls and replying to text messages. The television grapevine went frantic with several rumours. So we pursued and found she was suffering from cancer.

Smita's agony began in September last year, when she developed lumps all over her body. She says, "Initially, I thought they were warts. So I didn't pay much attention. But slowly as they grew in size, I had to seek medical help."

Smita's world came crashing down when the doctors diagnosed her with skin cancer. "I almost fainted. I got myself admitted to a hospital. My mother fractured her arm around the same time and my dad had to stay with her to nurse her. My parents are based in Lucknow, I had to look after myself. I was hospitalised for three months. I don't know how I regrouped myself," she adds.

Fighting the disease along with the punishing treatment was rather painful. "Initially, I tried acupuncture. The needle pain was unbearable. Chemotherapy was no less agonising."

However, life is looking better for her now. Smita got back to work in April. "I am playing a character called Poonpoonwali in Bhagya Vidhata."

"There is always light at the end of a dark tunnel," she concludes on a philosophical note.

Hey Bhaggu! I hope she gets better soon. Even though she barely had any scenes in Remix, i thought she was really inncoent looking. She's a really cute character. Praying for her recovery.
