Divya's Bhatnagar's decorating health condition 

A few weeks ago, Divya's mother had told that her daughter and Television actor Divya Bhatnagar, is currently critical. She had tested positive for Covid-19 and is on a ventilator.

Divya's brother had told Times of India on December 1

We have shifted Divya to another hospital. She was hospitalised on November 26 and tested positive for COVID-19 on November 28. She was already suffering from pneumonia, which has worsened owing to coronavirus. Initially, she was on non-invasive ventilation to support her breathing but is on a ventilator now because of all the exertion of shifting hospitals. We want her to recover from pneumonia, which has spread.

Her mother, who came from Delhi to Goregaon where the actor is currently admitted in a hospital, told ETimes in an interview:

Divya had temperature since the last six days. She was feeling very uneasy. I came down from Delhi and got an oximeter home. We checked her oxygen levels, they had dropped to 71. She is on a ventilator now, her oxygen level is about 84, and her condition is critical. The reports have just come and she has tested positive for COVID.

The actor recently shared a screenshot from one of her video calls on her Instagram Stories and wrote, "Hi my Instagram family. Pray for my speedy recovery. I love you all." She can be seen smiling through an oxygen mask while lying down on her hospital bed.

Divya Bhatnagar's marriage had fallen apart.

In an interview with ETimes, her mother also claimed that Divya's husband Gagan is a "fraud". She said he has left her and has not come forward to enquire about her health.  He has left her and is not bothered to even come forward for a while. She married without informing us. I am aghast that post-marriage she has been living in a tiny place in Oshiwara. She was living in a big house at Mira Road earlier. She has undergone a lot in the recent past.

Gagan is associated with showbiz and works for production houses making reality shows.
