It all started around 10 days back when Dubey’s 54-year-old mother had a sudden migraine attack, followed by high fever, shivering, vomit and body ache. And when he took her to get some basic tests done, diagnostic centres expressed apprehension, and urged them to get her tested for Covid-19 first. The test came out positive.
However the actor acknowledged that he was privileged enough to get his mother a bed in a hospital in Mumbai as hospitals are running out of space due to the rising number of cases.
In an Instagram post, Satyajeet had revealed that his mum has now been kept in an isolation ward of a Mumbai hospital.
Later, while speaking to Hindustan Times, Satyajeet acknowledged that he was privileged enough to get his mother a bed in a hospital. He said, "As a son, I wanted to give her the best in terms of comfort. But, if you go through the normal channel, it’s next to impossible to find a bed in hospitals right now. Thank God for the kind of work I do, and the people I work with — I had to call a few people and pull some strings, and people were kind enough to say, ’You don’t worry about it, we will help’, and they did."
He further revealed that his Prassthanam co-stars Sanjay Dutt and Ali Fazal helped him throughout along with actors Tisca Chopra and Amitosh Nagpal. Satyajeet said, he was lucky to be working in a field where his friends helped him get a bed at a private hospital.
Satyajeet who played Sanjay Dutt’s son in Prassthanam also told that he and his sister are asymptomatic, and so they’re not supposed to test as per the BMC guidelines, but are in complete isolation at home with their pets.
