Madhubala's niece writes to New Zealand PM Jacinda Arden about ill-treatment of mother in Auckland

Madhubala's sister was 'immensely hungry' as she did not have anything to eat during her journey from Auckland to Mumbai.

New Delhi: Two weeks ago, late veteran actress Madhubala’s 96-year-old sister Kaniz, was made to board a flight from Auckland to Mumbai by her daughter-in-law in New Zealand, without providing her with any money and food. The unpleasant news surfaced on ETimes and was later confirmed to the news portal by Kaniz daughter Perveez Somjee. The traumatic experience faced by Madhubala’s sister has left many shocked and angry.

Kaniz did not even have money to get an RT-PCR test done at the Mumbai airport. When Perveez came to the airport her mother was ‘immensely hungry’ due to starvation as she had no food with her during the entire journey. Now, Perveez has written a letter to the Prime Minister of New Zealand Jacinda Arden elaborating about the ‘inhumane treatment’ that was meted out to her mother in her country.

Confirming the news, Madhubala’s niece told ETimes, “It is true that I have written a letter to the New Zealand Prime Minister in this regard but I don't want to elaborate."
