Anil Agarwal revealed last month that his mother had fallen ill during a visit to meet her newborn great-granddaughter in Mumbai and was hospitalized. At the time, Anil Agarwal said that despite being ill, his mother "never fails to recognise us and lights up when she sees me.”

"Ma is a fighter and the strongest lady I know. A few weeks ago, she travelled to Mumbai to meet her newborn great-granddaughter. Unfortunately, during the visit, she fell seriously sick and had to be hospitalised. Even now, even after the doctors have said that she is critical, she never fails to recognise us and lights up when she sees me," he had said.

"Sitting quietly in the ICU, by her bedside, I am reminded of my childhood days in Patna. When I was young, Bauji used to give her only 400 to run the entire family's expenses. Within that, she would manage all our expenses, pay for the rent, take care of her four children, help all our neighbours, and also welcome any guests who had decided to come to stay with us," he then shared.
