Veteran actor Anupam Shyam, who was a part of several popular television shows including Mann Kee Awaaz Pratigya, has been admitted in ICU at a Mumbai hospital. His brother Anurag is seeking financial help from the Indian Film industry for his treatment.

Mumbai:TV actor Anupam Shyam, known for his role in the show Mann Kee Awaaz Pratigya, has been hospitalized. The actor reportedly collapsed during dialysis and was immediately admitted to the ICU. The 62-year-old actor is currently unstable and his brother Anurag is seeking financial help from the Indian Film industry for his treatment.

The veteran actor was diagnosed with a kidney infection and was initially admitted to a hospital in Mumbai's Malad area. However, when he collapsed, he was rushed to another hospital's ICU centre.

Talking about Anupam's health condition to a leading portal, brother Anurag said, "He has been keeping unwell for the last six months now. He has an infection in his kidney due to which we had admitted him to Hinduja Hospital back then and got him treated for almost one and half month. That time his health got fine but he was suggested dialysis, from time to time. But he decided to go for ayurvedic treatment as dialysis costs a lot. That didn’t help. He got breathless recently because of not doing dialysis. His chest was filled with water, so we again started his dialysis and he started getting relief."

Anurag revealed that they are facing a monetary crisis and have been talking to people for help. He also shared that they have written to Salman Khan's charity foundation 'Being Human' seeking some financial aid from them.

"I was getting his dialysis done in a Malad hospital but yesterday after his dialysis he collapsed and they suggested we take him to some other hospital which has an ICU. So I got him admitted to this hospital but it is expensive and we don’t have money for the treatment. All of what he has earned has already been spent on his medication. We are really in need of money. I request you all to spread the word in his fraternity so that someone can come ahead and help us," he added.

On the work front, Anupam Shyam has featured in several popular TV shows including Kyunki...Jeena Issi Ka Naam Hai, Hum Ne Li Hai Shapath, Doli Armaano Ki, among many others.
