In a surprising turn of events, veteran Bollywood actress Tanuja, aged 80, was admitted to a hospital in Juhu on Sunday evening. The actress, mother to Kajol and Tanisha Mukerjee, is reportedly facing age-related health concerns.
According to reliable sources, Tanuja is currently under observation in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and is said to be in stable condition. Reports from PTI confirm that there is no cause for immediate concern regarding her health.
Tanuja, the sister of the late legendary actress Nutan, hails from a family deeply rooted in the Indian film industry. Born to Kumarsen Samarth and actress Shobhna Samarth, she carries a legacy that has seen her daughters, Kajol and Tanisha Mukerjee, follow in her footsteps. Notably, Nutan’s son Mohnish Bahl and his daughter Pranutan have also contributed to the family’s cinematic legacy.
Commencing her career as a child artist in sister Nutan’s film ‘Hamari Beti’ in 1950, Tanuja has since carved a successful path in the film industry. Her notable roles in films such as ‘Baharein Phir Bhi Ayengi,’ ‘Jewel Thief,’ ‘Haathi Mere Saathi,’ ‘Mere Jeevan Sathi,’ ‘Ghar Dwar,’ and ‘Jeene Ki Raah’ have left an indelible mark on Indian cinema. Additionally, Tanuja is celebrated for her contribution to the world of music with several beautiful songs in her filmography.
As fans and well-wishers express their concern, the industry collectively wishes Tanuja a speedy recovery. Updates on her health condition and discharge from the hospital will be closely monitored.
