Renowned actor Tiku Talsania suffered a brain stroke on Friday night. He was immediately admitted to the hospital. According to the latest reports, his condition has improved significantly, and he is now out of danger.
Sources reveal that Talsania was attending the premiere of the Gujarati film Mom Tane Nahi Samjay in Andheri, on Friday night in Mumbai, with friends, including a leading PR and theatre person, Deepak Somaiya. Apart from this, film director Dharmesh Mehta, Vijay Rawal, Pankajbhai, a friend who has come from the US, and others were also present. Recounting the incident, Somaiya said, “Before the film started, Tikubhai suddenly felt discomfort. He began sweating profusely and experienced nausea.
