They left the ailing lady to fend for herself after which she has been trying to contact Salman Khan for help. Speaking to Bombay Times, Pooja said, “I learned 6 months ago that I had something as serious as TB. I tried to contact Salman Khan for help, but nothing has been done so far. If he looks at my video, then maybe he will try to offer some help. I have been admitted to this hospital for the last 15 days. I have been doing casino management in Goa for the last several years. I have no money at all, I depend on others for even a cup of tea.” Well, for Pooja it was her other co-star who quickly came to her help.
