On Tuesday, Surekha Sikri suffered a brain stroke and was admitted to the ICU, the actor’s agent Vivek Sidhwani informed. The 75-year-old actress is critical, but stable. “Her parameters are being closely monitored, continuously,” he added.

A recipient of three National Awards, Sikri, a film, theatre, and TV veteran, is best known for her performances in Govind Nihalani’s Tamas, Shyam Benegal’s Mammo and Zubeida, Saeed MIrza’s Salim Langde Pe Mat Ro and the daily soap Balika Vadhu. More recently, she was flooded with compliments for her role as Ayushmann Khurrana’s grandmother in the Junglee Pictures’ production Badhaai Ho.
