Meanwhile, Dr Ashutosh Shetty, the neurologist who was treating her, told the news portal, "Surekhaji has improved from the time she suffered the stroke. She recognises people. She is even walking with support. Of course, she will need time before she can resume working and needs physiotherapy now.”

Her Badhaai Ho co-star Ayushmann Khurrana had also wished her a speedy recovery. The versatile actor had shared a still from the film in his Instagram stories. He captioned the picture as, “Wish you a speedy recovery ma’am. Always with you.”
