Pooja Dadwal, who worked with Salman Khan in the 1995 film Veergati, is suffering from tuberculosis and the actress reportedly contacted Bollywood Bajrangi Bhaijaan for financial help. According to a report in Navbharat Times, Pooja is suffering from tuberculosis and lung-related ailment and has been admitted to Mumbai's T B Hospital, Sewri for the past 15 days.

The actress told the daily that she's penniless and has no money to pay for her medical bills. She added that she has even tried getting in touch with Salman but the 52-year-old actor has not responded.

She said, "I got to know six months ago that I was suffering from tuberculosis. After learning about this I tried to contact Salman Khan but there's been no response yet."

Apparently, Pooja has conveyed the message to Salman through a video, talking about her weak financial condition. "If Salman Khan sees my video, he might help me. I have been admitted to the hospital for 15 days now. I was the manager at a casino in Goa for several years. I am penniless. I am dependent on others for even a cup of tea," she added.

Sources close to the actress revealed that her husband and in-laws abandoned her after learning about her illness.

Pooja has also worked in films like Hindustan and Sindoor Saugandh.
