Anurag Shyam, brother of late actor Anupam Shyam, claims that star Aamir Khan promised them a dialysis centre in Pratapgarh, but then stopped picking up their calls. He also stated that Anupam was dissatisfied with the news that his programme will be cancelled shortly.
In a new interview, Anurag says that Anupam Shyam was disappointed that he was unable to visit their mother when she was sick. She was in Pratapgarh at the time, and the Mann Ke Awaaz Pratigya 2 actor was unable to accompany her since the Uttar Pradesh town lacked a dialysis centre, which would have put the actor’s health in danger.
Anurag told Aajtak, “Our family has been facing a lot. My mother died last month. Anupam was shocked that he could not go to Pratapgarh (where their mom stayed). Without a dialysis centre in the town, going there would have been a major health risk for Anupam. We urged for a dialysis centre in Pratapgarh and Anupam even went to Aamir Khan for the same.”
He added, “Aamir Khan gave us the assurance but stopped picking our calls after a few months.” Anurag also told the news channel that the actor was worried after hearing rumours that his show will be pulled off air.
Anurag Shyam also said in the interview that the actor’s health condition had improved and doctors had even removed the ventilator. However, his condition worsened after that and his blood pressure dropped sharply, he added. It led to multiple organ failure and his death.
Anupam Shyam had been suffering from kidney ailment for the last few years and was hospitalised about a week ago. He was best known for playing antagonists, and it was the TV show Mann Ki Awaaz Pratigya 2 that made him a household name. He worked with Aamir in Ashutosh Gowariker’s Lagaan.
