Yesteryear stars are remembered by fans even today who want to keep tabs on how they are doing. One such actor is Mumtaz who was one of the highest-earning stars of the time. Mumtaz’s health has not been keeping her well off late. Her fans were concerned about her after news of her hospitalisation was reported. The Bollywood diva was admitted to the hospital for a week after she suddenly suffered from a bout of diarrhoea.
Speaking to ETimes, Mumtaz said that she suffered from Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Colitis, both of which are gut-related disorders. She has said that she experienced sudden diarrhoea which did not come under control despite being on medication. This was the reason why she had to be hospitalised and even after the hospitalisation, it took her seven days to get better.
Mumtaz has also thanked the medical staff of the hospital for taking such pristine care of her. She said that the injections troubled her skin too much. Mumtaz has revealed that she was on an IV drip for the entire week and the drip was only attached to her right hand. It could not be attached to her left hand because her lymph nodes were removed when she contracted breast cancer 25 years ago.
The 74-year-old also went on to say that her husband Mayur Madhwani flew from the United States to be with her. She went on to say that Mayur loves her dearly and she is lucky to have him in her life. She had told him that she will deal with this by herself but her husband wanted to make sure that she would have the best of facilities and nurses to take care of her at home.
