In a heartbreaking turn of events, the vibrant life of Suhani Bhatnagar, known as the “Dangal Girl,” came to an abrupt end at the young age of 19. The news of her demise due to dermatomyositis, a rare disease, has left the nation in shock.
Suhani, who rose to fame with her role in the blockbuster movie “Dangal,” faced the cruel reality of dermatomyositis just two months before her untimely death. Despite seeking medical attention at several prominent hospitals in Faridabad, the disease eluded diagnosis until it was too late.
Her parents, Punit and Pooja Bhatnagar, shared the agonizing journey of their daughter’s illness. It began with red patches on Suhani’s hands, which they initially thought was an allergy. Little did they know, it was the onset of a relentless battle against dermatomyositis.
As the disease progressed, Suhani’s body filled with water, causing damage to her lungs and eventually leading to her demise. Her parents, devastated by the loss, expressed both sorrow and pride in their daughter’s short but impactful life. Suhani not only made a mark in the film industry but also brought recognition to the city of Faridabad.
Suhani’s journey started with her portrayal of Babita Phogat in “Dangal,” a role that garnered her immense recognition. Despite her passion for acting, she pursued mass communication (journalism) at Faridabad’s Human Development Institute. Her dream of furthering her acting career after completing her studies was tragically cut short.
The family faced the harsh reality of dermatomyositis, a disease that often goes undetected. Despite the challenges, Suhani’s parents fought relentlessly for her, seeking medical assistance and eventually admitting her to Delhi’s AIIMS. However, the disease had taken its toll, and Suhani bid farewell to the world, leaving her family and fans in mourning.
As we remember Suhani Bhatnagar, let us raise awareness about dermatomyositis and the importance of early diagnosis. May her story serve as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the need for continued efforts in medical research and awareness.
Rest in peace, Suhani – the Dangal Girl who touched hearts and left an indelible mark on the world of cinema.
