Salman Khan had come to her rescue and offered support through his NGO. Talking about it in a press event in Pune in 2018, Salman had said, "I know. It's really sad. She is not my co-star but she was Atul's (Agnihotri) co-star. I just heard about this and we are trying to help as much as we can. And our team is already onto it. I did not know that she was going through this phase. I think she will be okay."

According to several reports, the former actress, Pooja Dadwal was suffering from tuberculosis and lung-related ailment and had been admitted to Mumbai's TB Hospital, Sewri.
