Actress Saranya Sasi, who had been battling a brain tumour for the past decade, died at a private hospital in Trivandrum on Monday. She had been hospitalized due to COVID-19 a couple of weeks ago but eventually recovered and got discharged.
According to a leading English newspaper, she was rushed to the hospital due to low sodium levels and pneumonia.
As per the report, she had undergone 11 surgeries after she was diagnosed with cancer in 2012, which took a toll financially.
