“That’s when we got to know it was a sepsis infection, which has affected all his joints. And since the infection is now in his blood, the recovery has been extremely slow. We never anticipated something like this to happen with us, and thus it’s emotionally and financially a tough time,” she said.

Ranbir Kapoor`s sister and celebrity Riddhima extended a helping hand to the suffering family and contributed her share for the actor`s treatment. While the Dalvi family is at a critical juncture, some called Sahni`s act a `publicity stunt`.
On a paparazzo`s Instagram post, the star kid commented, "Done. Wishing him a speedy recovery." A troll replied to her comment and asked, "Why did you mention it here if you have helped... footage chahiye?"
Riddhima instantly hit back and wrote, "Everything in life is not about optics – helping someone in need and in whatever capacity you can is the biggest blessing."
