The ailing actress spoke to the national daily and said, "I got to know six months ago that I was suffering from tuberculosis. After learning about this I tried to contact Salman Khan but there's been no response yet."

Apparently, the former actress has conveyed the message to Salman Khan through a video, claiming her weak financial condition. The daily also reported that Pooja was a casino manager in Goa before she got diagnosed with tuberculosis. "If Salman Khan sees my video, he might help me. I have been admitted to the hospital for 15 days now. I was the manager at a casino in Goa for several years. I am penniless. I am dependent on others for even a cup of tea," the actress was quoted by the publication.

Twitterati has been taken aback after learning this story of Pooja Dadwal and has requested Salman Khan to extend help.

The Veergati actress was abandoned by her husband and in-laws after her health started worsening. She has also featured in films like Inteqam, Hindustan and Dabdaba.
