Actor Pooja Dadwal, who was once seen in Salman Khan’s Veergati opposite Atul Agnihotri, is currently suffering from tuberculosis and has been admitted to Mumbai’s Shivdi Hospital for the last 15 days. According to a report in Bombay Times, the former actor’s in-laws and husband have abandoned and she is unable to even pay for her medical treatment. Pooja has been trying to contact her former co-star Salman Khan for financial help but hasn’t got through to him as yet.

“I learned 6 months ago that I had something as serious as TB. I tried to contact Salman Khan for help, but nothing has been done so far. If he looks at my video then maybe he will try to offer some help. I have been admitted to this hospital for the last 15 days. I have been doing casino management in Goa for the last several years. I have no money at all, I depend on others for even a cup of tea.”

Luck did not favour Pooja after her debut in Veergati with Salman Khan and Atul Agnihotri. The actor was later confined to B-grade films such as Inteqaam, Madam No 1 and Jeene Nahi Doongi.
