'I fell off a train a couple of years ago, I'm broke’, Agneepath actor Resham Arora reveals financial woes

Resham Arora says he is in dire need of work to run his family. The Agneepath actor revealed that his wife is suffering from glaucoma - and her eyesight has dropped drastically.

New Delhi: Veteran actor Resham Arora, who has played numerous supporting roles in films and television shows, including a doctor in Mithun Chakraborty’s film ‘Agneepath’ is in dire need of financial assistance and has had no work offers since the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world.

“There is absolutely no work for me. This has been the state ever since the lockdown began. While people say 'cheezein khul rahi hai (things are opening up now)', I still don't see sufficient work opportunities available,” the veteran actor told ETimes.

Resham opened up about how he and his family are also dealing with numerous health problems, which have aggravated financial, physical and emotional burden on them. “I fell off a train a couple of years ago, and then was bitten in the leg by some strange insect at a shoot for Ashwini Dheer's show 'Chidiya Ghar', which hindered my movement for some time. Being in a precarious condition, tragedy further struck me when my wife's eyesight started deteriorating; she contracted acute glaucoma,” shared the actor.
