Earlier this year, the actor was diagnosed with a rare neuromuscular disease and hospitalised. Nupur Alankar, who is a member of CINTAA, told ETimes then, “I was on call with Arun Bali sir when I sensed something is majorly wrong with his speech and pointed it out to him. After that I tried contacting his son Ankush, but couldn’t get through. Then I called up Rajeev Menon who is Ankush’s colleague and got his other number and I advised him to take Arun sir to the hospital immediately.”
He further said, his daughter told that he has been diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis. Nupur had said, “Today I received a call from Arun ji’s number… he couldn’t speak clearly at all. His daughter Itishree informed me about his condition. I am truly concerned. I pray for his fast recovery.”
