Read full story: My savings have dried up. I need financial help, says senior actress Savita Bajaj
The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns have hit the lives of so many people across the country. The entertainment world, especially senior actors have been affected badly as many of them are running out of work along with their savings. Now, veteran actress Savita Bajaj has expressed a need for financial help. In a conversation with ETimes, the senior actress said, 'My savings have dried up. I have spent all the money on my failing health. I have developed serious breathing issues and don’t know how I will manage now. ' While confessing that the only help she got is from The writers’ association and CINTAA, she added, 'The writers’ association had helped me with rupees one lakh in 2016 after I was hospitalised following an accident. CINTAA, too, had helped me with `50,000. But today, I am not in a condition to work owing to my poor health. I have every intention to pay back the money once I resume work, but right now, I’m not in a condition to work due to my poor health.' She further shared that her family members are not there to help her amid these tough times. She said, 'Sadly, I have nobody who can take care of me today. Around 25 years ago, I had decided to move back to my hometown, Delhi, but no one in my family wanted to keep me. I have earned a lot, helped those in need, but today I need help.' For the unversed, Savita Bajaj who has featured in films like 'Nishant', 'Nazrana', 'Beta Ho Toh Aisa', among others, also battled COVID-19 three months ago and had to be hospitalized for 22 days. Well, recently another veteran actress Shagufta Ali who has worked in television and films for 36 years left the entire film and television fraternity shocked after revealing that she is facing a major financial crunch.
