IN an interview with ETimes TV, Anaya said “I have been living on one kidney since 2015. My both kidneys had failed 6 years ago and my father donated a kidney to me. Suddenly, the donated kidney has deteriorated and I need a fresh kidney transplant. I never dreamt of such a situation when I was doing shows like ‘Naamkaran’ and ‘Crime Patrol’.”
Anaya has also appeared in serials like ‘Adalat’ led by Ronit Roy, ‘Ishq Mein Marjawan’ and movies like ‘Take it Easy’ (2015) and ‘Hai Apna Dil Toh Awaara’ (2016). “Currently, I was doing a Telugu show ‘Rudrama Devi’. Jo mil raha tha, woh main karti ja rahi thi. Aur kya karti?”
Anaya says that her woes are compounded by the fact that she has hardly got any savings left. “My mom had a garments business. My brother was doing well. Her clothes and his machines got all burnt sometime ago, when my house caught fire. Sab kuch khatam ho gaya. We are just hand-to-mouth now.”
Anaya is currently fighting a grim battle in Mumbai’s Holy Spirit Hospital. “They are giving me medicines to bring down my creatinine, which was over 9 when I got admitted. Too much more to go. Dialysis has not yet begun, that will take some time. We are also looking for a donor.”
