Veteran actress Rehana Sultan, 74, known for her prolific acting skills encountered a health scare after she underwent a cardiac valve replacement surgery due to breathing issues. Her brother Rishabh Sharma who is taking care of her during these trying times contacted Ashoke Pandit, the president of IFTDA (Indian Film and Television Directors’ Association), and shared their financial woes. In no time, several Bollywood stars came forward to help Rehana with her heart treatment. Pandit, in an interview with The Indian Express, shared that Rohit Shetty, Javed Akhtar, and Ramesh Taurani have provided financial help for Rehana.

Rehana Sultan’s heart treatment was delayed due to a financial crisis

Pandit said, “Rehana Sultan has been in touch with me for quite some time and she has not been well. She had a cardiac issue, she had valves in her heart and there was some problem in that. She started feeling very unwell around three days back. So, her brother Rishabh Sharma called me and told me that she was in a serious problem and that he had to admit her to a hospital. He also informed me that they had financial issues due to which her treatment was getting delayed.”
