“She had suffered a fracture in her feet two months ago and later developed complications due to the medication.

There was water retention in her body and even doctors were uncertain about what was happening,” said the actor’s grandfather, A P Bhatnagar.

Officials at AIIMS have not confirmed this yet.

Suhani was admitted to All India Institute of Medical Sciences on February 7 and died on February 16 after medical complications. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Shweta Singhai, Senior Consultant – Rheumatology at Sakra World Hospital in Bengaluru, revealed, “The exact cause of dermatomyositis is unknown, but it may be due to a viral infection of the muscles, mostly due to a problem with the body’s immune system (when the body develops autoantibodies to its own muscles and other body tissues), bacterial infections, occasionally vaccinations, environmental factors including UV radiation and air pollutants.”

She added, “It can sometimes be caused by drugs like statins used to reduce cholesterol. It is also associated with underlying malignancy in about 30-40% patients and they need to be screened for it especially if there is weight loss. It is a very rare disease, occurring in 2-3 people for every 1 lac population.”

Her grandfather said that she was focusing on her studies. Many acting opportunities were coming but she insisted to complete the studies first.

Not only Bollywood but whole country is mourning the loss of a promising young girl.
