In a heartfelt post, Payal shared details about his condition and the financial strain the family is facing, urging her followers to come forward with their support and donations. On Wednesday, Payal took to her Instagram handle and wrote a lengthy note that read, “I have decided to post this on my social media after a lot of internal alignment of my thoughts. In our country, medical treatments are expensive. And every middle class family has limited funds. Also my father thought he would get reimbursement from the medical insurance company of whose premium he had paid but he hasn’t. The medical insurance PREMIUM every year so much for senior citizens but when genuine medical expenses don’t get reimbursed it’s sad. He requested me to put it on my social media and I am doing it as I want to connect via this platform.”


She added, “Crowd funding (Donation) needed for my Father. He is a senior citizen and is suffering from Prostate Cancer (since 2018), COPD i.e., shrinking lungs (since 2006) and Very Severe Osteoporosis (since 2008). Request my fans and followers to Donate generously and deposit money in the following account. Some Medical Reports attached. The entire medical file can be sent on email too.”
