Faridabad:Suhani Bhatnagar, known for her role in the 2016 movie Dangal alongside Aamir Khan, sadly passed away at the age of 19 on February 16. Her family disclosed that she had been battling Dermatomyositis, a rare inflammatory disease, which ultimately led to her demise. They also shared how Aamir Khan had always remained in touch with Suhani and even invited them to his daughter's wedding.
Suhani had been receiving treatment at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi after experiencing symptoms, including swelling in her left hand, which began two months prior. Despite consulting numerous doctors, the cause remained elusive until her admission to AIIMS, where she was diagnosed with Dermatomyositis. Tragically, complications from the treatment led to lung failure, resulting in her passing.
Dermatomyositis is a rare condition characterized by muscle inflammation, often accompanied by skin rash and progressive muscle weakness. Suhani's father, Puneet Bhatnagar, shared their journey, expressing initial confusion over her symptoms and the delayed diagnosis. Despite medical intervention, her condition deteriorated rapidly.
Aamir Khan Productions also expressed their grief over Suhani's passing, acknowledging her talent and contribution to Dangal. Taking to X (formerly Twitter) Aamir Khan Productions mourned the demise of the actor and penned a heartfelt note.
