Anupam Shyam faced a major health scare last year due to his kidney ailment. The actor, however, recovered and was soon back in action to shoot for his iconic show -- and the character of Sajjan Singh. He still had to periodically undergo dialysis -- thrice a week.

"He is breathing but doctors have lost hope. Today is his sixth day of being admitted in the Goregaon hospital," Anupam Shyam's younger brother Anurag told SpotboyE this evening.

Anupam Shyam told SpotboyE in March, 2021, "Health oopar neechey rehti hai but I am much better than before. My dialysis is still on and I have to go for it thrice a week. So, I complete my work and go to the hospital in the evening. The production team cooperates with me completely. Hence, I don't find it hectic."

"Life has its ups and downs, but we have to keep going on. And I am also doing the same," he added.
