Bigg Boss 14 contestant Rakhi Sawant on Monday revealed that her mother has successfully undergone cancer surgery and thanked actor Salman Khan for funding the expensive treatment.

In a heartwarming video shared on Instagram, Rakhi called Salman an 'angel' and thanked him for saving her mother's life.

"You have given us the world's best doctor. I pray that every household has sons like you and Sohail Khan. I thank your parents for giving my family two angels," Rakhi said in the video with folded hands.

Rakhi's mother, Jaya, also thanked the actor and said, "I used to pray to Jesus and wonder if I'll ever be saved, or if I will die like this. But my God gave me an angel in the form of Salman Khan. It is because of him and his family that I am able to get this operation done."
