Divya Bhatnagar on ventilator, suffering from Covid-19 and pneumonia: Brother says ‘she is conscious and tries to talk to me’

Divya Bhatnagar’s brother Devashish has revealed the actor remains to be on ventilator, but also talks to him when he meets her in the hospital.

Actor Divya Bhatnagar, who recently tested positive for coronavirus and was on “non-invasive ventilation”, is now on ventilator, her brother Devashish has revealed. He also said the Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actor was suffering from pneumonia before she tested positive for the virus.

Divya Bhatnagar has been critical for a few days now and is on ventilator, days after testing positive for coronavirus.

Divya recently shared a screenshot from one of her video calls on Instagram Stories and wrote, “Hi my Instagram family. Pray for my speedy recovery. I love you all.” She could be seen smiling through an oxygen mask while lying down on her hospital bed.

Divya’s brother told Times of India, “We have shifted Divya to another hospital. She was hospitalised on November 26 and tested positive for COVID-19 on November 28. She was already suffering from pneumonia, which has worsened owing to coronavirus. Initially, she was on non-invasive ventilation to support her breathing, but is on ventilator now because of all the exertion of shifting hospitals. We want her to recover from the pneumonia, which has spread.”

Besides Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and Tera Yaar Hoon Main, Divya has also worked in TV shows such as Udaan, Jeet Gayi Toh Piyaa Morre and Vish.
