Actor Dolly Sohi passed away on Friday morning after battling cervical cancer, her brother Manpreet said.
The actor, best known for TV show ‘Jhanak’ and ‘Bhabhi’, was diagnosed with cervical cancer around six months ago and was undergoing treatment for the disease.
“She is no more. She passed away around 4.00 am at Apollo Hospital. She had cervical cancer which had spread to her lungs. We had admitted her last night to the hospital as her health had deteriorated,” Manpreet told PTI.
Her sister Amandeep Sohi, also an actor, had died a night before (Thursday), after being diagnosed with jaundice.
Her family issued a statement informing about the actor’s death that read, “Our beloved Dolly has left for her heavenly abode today early morning. We are in a state of shock with the loss. The final rites shall be conducted today afternoon. Will share further details.”
Dolly had shared a photo last year after a chemotherapy session. It read, “THANK U EVERYONE FOR SENDING YOUR LOVE AND PRAYERS Life has been a Roller Coaster lately, But if u have the strength to fight with it then ur journey becomes easier. It’s up to u what do u choose to be A Victim Of Journey (CANCER) Or A Survivor Of Journey (sic).”
