Unwell BR Ishara faces money crunch

Senior filmmaker and FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees) Vice President B R Ishara has been admitted to Juhu's Criticare Hospital.
It is learnt the filmmaker, who suffered a paralytic stroke last year, has been diagnosed with tuberculosis. His wife Rehana Sultan confirmed the news and added, "Not so long ago, he was undergoing physiotherapy and now he has other health issues."
Unfortunately, he is not in a good financial position either. FWICE President Dharmesh Tiwari said, "Ishara needs financial aid. Last time, FWICE helped him clear his bill at Kokilaben Ambani Hospital, where he was admitted. This time too, we will try our best. He is a very senior member of our Federation, and we love and respect him a lot."
The last time round, Danny Denzongpa and the writers' and directors' associations of the industry had contributed to help Ishara pay his hospital bills.
