According to reports, the cost of Eman’s surgery will be close to 1 crore.
A report in the Hindustan Times states that filmmaker Rakesh Roshan has confirmed that his wife has donated Rs 10 lakh for Eman.
I was really touched when I first read about her in the newspaper. Since then, I have been following all the news about her and praying for her. So, I thought of donating the money if it could help her in anyway. I cannot imagine that a person has been bedridden for 25 years. Because of her, the whole country has come together.Pinky Roshan
