Sherlyn Chopra opens up on her battle with kidney failure, relationship with family: ‘I thought I would die…’

Meanwhile, the 36-year-old actor recently opened up about her battle with kidney failure and the estrangement she experienced with her family many years ago.

“I had kidney failure in 2021, and I thought I would die. Then I realised that I had so much more work to do with Ekta ji (Ekta Kapoor) and that I had to clinch some great works. I made the decision not to give up. The doctor presented two options: either dialysis or a kidney transplant. However, my family doesn’t love me enough to donate a kidney. For dialysis, I would have had to go to the hospital thrice a week, and I didn’t want that in my life,” she recalled during an interview with Siddharth Kannan.

“However, after three months of taking medicines, the kidney failure was reversed and I thought I had got another birth,” Sherlyn added.

Referring to her relationship with her family, Sherlyn said, “I am no longer in touch with any of my family members. Although I have my mother, sister and her in-laws, brother and a sister-in-law, we haven’t spoken in quite some time. I don’t miss them.”

“I had disagreements with them regarding religion, culture, and profession. I was often told not to try to be a star and to behave like a common person when I met them. But why? Why should I act like a common person when I believe I am a star? I disagreed with them,” she added.

In addition to Sherlyn Chopra, the cast of ‘Paurashpur 2’ includes Deepak Qazir, Mahi Kamla, Ananya Samarth, Amit Pachori, Dinesh Kanwar Mehta, Aryan Harnot, Priom Gujjar, Kaushiki Rathore, and Shivangi Roy.
