It deteriorated in the last 48 hours. We did an EEG but there is very little activity within the brain itself.” Though the ‘Abhijan’ actor did not suffer from convulsion, his heart is not in a very good condition and his oxygenation requirement has gone up and his kidney function has worsened. The doctor was quoted saying by PTI, “As of now the situation is grim but may be by God's grace he will come out of this.” Reportedly, the neuro board will be closely monitoring the veteran actor for the next 24 hours. The doctor further said, “Overall it seems his situation won't be good in the coming 24 hours. For the first time we are expecting unfavorable outcome of the entire thing. We are giving our best but it seems our best may not be adequate for full recovery of Mr Chatterjee.” On a positive note, his liver and other parameters are functioning normally. Soumitra Chatterjee also underwent his first plasmapheresis on Thursday and tracheostomy on Wednesday reportedly. Though the ‘Sonar Kella’ actor tested negative for COVID-19 some time back, encephalopathy set in and various other complications surfaced.
