Ashwani told indianexpress.com that after Malhotra recovered from coronavirus in October, her low sugar level had been causing her health issues. Late on Thursday night, she suffered a major stroke, and was rushed to the hospital. As of now, she cannot speak, and her right side is paralysed.

“The doctors have said that she will have to stay in the hospital for a few days. However, she is showing improvement,” he added.
