Mere Sai actress Anaya Soni, who urgently needs a kidney transplant, says, ‘It has been difficult but I’m trying to stay strong’

Anaya Soni recently posted on social media about her health condition. The 34-year-old Mere Sai actress fainted a week ago while shooting on the sets of her show and had to be rushed to the hospital. She is on dialysis and needs a kidney transplant urgently. Anaya, who has been suffering from kidney issues since the past 11 years, says, “My parents are currently with me in the hospital. They are very worried and wondering what to do next because I need to go in for a kidney transplant and that requires a lot of money. I don’t know the exact amount, but it can be around Rs 30 lakhs or more.”

She adds, “We are a middle-class family and medical costs are so high. My mom and dad run a small shop in our hometown Amravati. People think that actors earn a lot, which is not the case. We actors get our payments after three months and our day-to-day expenses are also something that we have to take care of.”
