Late actor Anupam Shyam's brother has accused Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan of going back on his promise of setting up a dialysis centre in Pratapgarh so that the late actor could meet his ailing mother when he was alive. Anurag, brother of the late actor, went on to allege that Aamir even stopped picking their calls after going back on his promise.
Veteran actor Anupam Shyam took his last breaths on Monday. He lost his life due to multiple organ failures. For the last few years, the actor was battling kidney diseases and due to poor economic conditions, his family even asked for financial aid for his treatment. Anupam’s brother Anurag revealed that actor Aamir Khan had given them an assurance of a dialysis center in Pratapgarh so that he could meet his ailing mother there, but the actor stopped picking their phone calls after some time.
“When we were incapable of getting the best treatment for my brother Anupam, many people, including the CM of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath sent us money. I showed Anupam messages of fans on my phone and seeing so much love from his fans, Anupam got teary-eyed. He continued crying in gratitude,” Anurag told Aaj Tak during a recent interview. “But what broke him was that last month he couldn’t attend our mother’s funeral in Pratapgarh since the town has no dialysis center,” his brother added.
So, the Pratigya actor went to meet Aamir Khan to request a dialysis center in the Uttar Pradesh town. Anurag shared that “Aamir assured Anupam about getting a dialysis center built in Pratapgarh, but Anupam’s wish couldn’t get fulfilled while he was alive,” "Aamir Khan gave us the assurance but stopped picking our calls after a few months." he added.
His brother also revealed that Anupam was really upset when he got the news that his show Mann Ki Awaaz Pratigya 2 will go off-air soon. Anurag said “He was passionate about his work. So, when he heard from someone that Pratigya 2 might go off air soon, he got worried about the finances,”
Anupam Shyam rose to fame after his role of Thakur Sajjan Singh in Mann Kee Awaaz Pratigya 2 became a household name. He also acted in films like Dil Se, Satya, Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi, Zakhm, Dushman, and Slumdog Millionaire.
