The actress is facing a financial crunch and has no money to even pay for her medical expenses.
According to a report in Bombay Times, the former actor’s in-laws and husband have abandoned and she is unable to even pay for her medical treatment. Pooja has been trying to contact her former co-star Salman Khan for financial help but hasn’t got through to him as yet.
Speaking to the publication, she said, “I learned 6 months ago that I had something as serious as TB. I tried to contact Salman Khan for help, but nothing has been done so far. If he looks at my video then maybe he will try to offer some help. I have been admitted to this hospital for the last 15 days. I have been doing casino management in Goa for the last several years. I have no money at all, I depend on others for even a cup of tea.”

Pooja, who appears to have sent a video message to the actor, claims that her financial condition is extremely weak. The report further quotes her as saying that she was a casino manager in Goa before she got diagnosed with tuberculosis. "If Salman Khan sees my video, he might help me. I have been admitted to the hospital for 15 days now. I was the manager at a casino in Goa for several years. I am penniless. I am dependent on others for even a cup of tea," she told Bombay Times.
Sources close to the actress revealed that due to her ill-health, her in-laws and even husband have left her alone to suffer. Pooja’s health has been deteriorating each day due to lack in treatment owing to her financial condition.
