New Delhi: Television actress Nishi Singh, who has worked in popular shows like ‘Hitler Didi, Qubool Hai, Ishqbaaaz, passed away on Sunday at the age of 50. She suffered three strokes of paralysis in the last few years and was battling health woes. . She is survived by her husband, writer-actor Sanjay Singh Bhadli, and two children.
Talking to the Times of India, her husband revealed that she passed away at 3 pm and was battling health issues after suffering two strokes in February and May. She had suffered first stroke last year. “After she suffered the second stroke on February 3 (a year after the first stroke), she started showing signs of recovery. However, she suffered another one in May 2022 and her health started deteriorating. We admitted her to the hospital and she was discharged later. Last few weeks, she found it difficult to eat because of a severe throat infection. She stopped eating solid food and we could only feed her liquids. The biggest irony is that we celebrated her 50th birthday the day before yesterday (September 16). Though she couldn’t talk, she seemed very happy. I requested her to eat her favourite besan ka laddoo and she did,” he told Times of India.
He added that Nishi Singh had fought hard, but was defeated.
“She fought hard to survive. Even though she was unwell, she was with me. Now, I don’t have anyone to call family other than our two children (21-year-old son and 18-year-old daughter). My daughter also quit her studies and skipped her board exams to take care of her mother with me. Aadmi jab haarta hai toh harr taraf se haarta hai,” he was quoted as saying by Times of India.
Sanjay added that the 'Qubool Hai' actor’s health deteriorated two years ago, and he had even sought monetary help. People from the industry like Ramesh Taurani, Gul Khan, Surbhi Chandna, and CINTAA helped him but he had to sell his house and car in March to take care of the medical expenses.
