Suhani Bhatnagar’s Dangal Co-star Sanya Malhotra Reacts To Her Death: ‘She Was So Special…’

Aamir Khan’s on-screen daughter in Dangal, Suhani Bhatnagar passed away on Saturday morning at the age of 19. While the exact cause of her death remains unknown, Suhani who used to live in sector 17, Faridabad was cremated at the Ajronda crematorium in Sector 15, as per reports. Suhani’s father Puneet Bhatnagar has shared the cause of the death of her daughter with the media. According to him, Suhani developed swelling in her hands two months ago, which later spread to other parts of her body.

She was then diagnosed with dermatomyositis and was prescribed steroids, since that is the only cure to the ailment. However, the medication had a side effect on her immune system, leading to an infection that weakened her lungs and water accumulation in the vital organs. Suhani Bhatnagar played the role of Junior Babita Phogat in the Aamir Khan starrer.

Now, Dangal actress Sanya Malhotra has reacted to Suhani’s untimely demise. Suhani played her younger version in the film. Taking to Instagram Stories, Sanya wrote, “I can’t believe it’s real. There was no one quite like our Suhani. She was so special, so talented, and way too young to have left us so soon. Rest in peace Chotu. My deepest condolences to Pooja, Puneet and the entire family.”

Suhani’s father had earlier said, “Even after putting her on a ventilator, her oxygen level was very low, and then yesterday evening at 7 pm, the AIIMS doctors said ‘she is not more,” he informed. Suhani Bhatnagar’s mother added that Suhani was performing well in college and she had plans to return to acting after her graduation. She said, “She was performing very well in college, she even topped in the last semester. She was brilliant in everything and wanted to excel in whatever she wanted to do. Our daughter has made us very proud.”
