The senior composer was rushed to the hospital after the doctors found that tuberculosis had started affecting his lungs.


Anandji was being treated by Dr. Zarir Udwadia, who is a renowned chest physician at Breach Candy Hospital.

SpotboyE spoke to the 84-year old who returned home, a few minutes ago. Said Anandji,  “I was hospitalised once in the month of December for 10 days and the second time in January for 20 days. I have had tuberculosis for a long time now, but my ailment spread into my lungs. The doctors said it was quite a serious case and I could not be treated at home."


The composer has been advised complete bedrest for two-three weeks. “The treatment is going to be very long and I shall take a long time to recover. But as of now I am doing well. The medicines are also helping me feel better,” added the senior composer.
