Veteran actress
Mumtaz returned home safely after battling a severe stomach infection in a Mumbai hospital. She was hospitalised for almost a week.
Talking about it, Mumtaz revealed that she has recovered well, however, she is still experiencing some weakness. She also shared that although she is strong enough to fight back the health issues, she believes that there is a need for better health care facilities for the underprivileged.
She told
Bollywood
Hungama, “I am strong and able to fight back when ill. But what about other more vulnerable people out there who are forever exposed to dangerous infections?”
On the work front, Mumtaz remains one of the most popular faces among the yesteryear stars from the 80s. From sharing screenspace with
Rajesh Khanna to
Shammi Kapoor, she has several hit films such as ‘Roti’, ‘Prem Kahani’, ‘Brahmachari’, ‘Sachaa Jhutha’ and several others under her credit.
While fans miss seeing her on screen, recently she opened up about her plans to make a comeback in films. She said, “I don’t know, if I’ll get a role which really really touches my heart, which will be nice enough and people will appreciate, then maybe I will. But firstly I have to take my husband's permission. If he gives me permission then definitely you’ll see me".
