Former Indian cricketer Rahul Sharma shared a heartfelt post on Twitter to express his gratitude to Gautam Gambhir. It is being learnt that the cricketer-turned-politician arranged medical facility for Sharma’s mother-in-law who had a brain haemorrhage. Gambhir’s assistance and prompt action, eventually, helped her in recovering.
“Last month was very difficult. My mother-in-law had brain haemorrhage, she was in critical condition. Thank you Gautam Gambhir paaji and (his PA Gaurav Arora) who helped me in such difficult time and he provided the best neurologist and hospital in such a short time and the surgery has been done successfully. Now she is absolutely fine. Thanks to Gangaram hospital and their staff for excellent care. Special thanks to Dr. Manish Chugh, your compassionate treatment is miraculous," Sharma shared on Twitter.
