Tragically, Bhatnagar’s promising journey cut short due to health complications. Her father shared details of her recent health struggles, revealing that she had begun experiencing unexplained swelling in her hands, which eventually spread throughout her body. Despite seeking medical help, her condition remained undiagnosed until she was admitted to AIIMS approximately 11 days prior to her passing.
Suhani Bhatnagar underwent tests, resulting in a diagnosis of dermatomyositis, a rare autoimmune disease. The prescribed treatment, including steroid medication, inadvertently weakened her immune system, leaving her vulnerable to further health complications.
Bhatnagar’s untimely demise has left her family, friends, and fans in shock and mourning. Her passion for acting and dedication to her education will remain in memories, as she leaves behind a legacy of talent and ambition. May she rest in peace.
