The actress, in her video complained that since Delhi's Lady Hardinge Hospital is not handing her mother's report, they cannot approach any other hospital to get her admitted. She also claimed that all the hospitals she approached for her mother's treatment have refused her saying there are no vacant beds, advising her family to keep the patient at home.
Deepika had said keeping her mother at home would mean risking the lives of 45 family members, and hence had requested the government for help.
