In an interview with Bombay Times last year in July, the R. K.

Despite maintaining a positive outlook, the absence of work caused him “sleepless nights.” It’s not like negative thoughts didn’t cross my mind. I had many sleepless nights worrying about when I would resume work. On one hand, the income stopped, while the expenses began, and the costs for cancer treatment are enormous.”
In the same interview, he emphasized the importance of having Mediclaim, which helped him manage the financial burden. “Mediclaim partly saved me, along with my savings; otherwise, it would have been very difficult. I never felt dejected because my family never treated me like a patient,” he had shared back then.
