Archana Chandhoke, who's one of the popular video jockeys in the TV industry, rose to fame once again after her brief stint in the latest season of Bigg Boss Tamil where she entered as a wild card contestant.
Earlier she informed her fans and colleagues about her health in a long post on Instagram. Archana revealed that she has been admitted at a private hospital in Chennai for a surgery to fix a Cerebrospinal fluid leak (commonly known as CSF leak). "So, looks like my brain got upset and wanted to show that it was powerful than my heart!! And now has started creating a little trouble.. it punched a bit of my skull and I have a little hole that needs a little fill!" read her emotional post.
While fans showered prayers and were waiting for an update from her family regarding her health, Archana's daughter and her sister took to their YouTube channel to give the details of her surgery and describe the procedure. "ABout 40-45 days, water started leaking from her nose. We brushed it away saying it might be sinus. After further investigation, we ruled out COVID-19 and blood infections. A CT scan and an MRI revealed that she had the CSF leak in her brain," said Anita Chandhoke.
"While there were two options for the surgery - one being that of an open skull surgery or inserting a tube inside her nose and blocking the leak, the latter was used fortunately and the doctors have now covered the leak fully," she added. "The tissue to cover the leak has been taken from Amma's right thigh and the doctors have grafted it there via a very delicate endoscopy," Zaara said.
Thanking fans for their prayers, both Zaara and Anita said she'll be in action soon on TV. Later, taking to her official Instagram page, the team posted that Archana is back home and she's on a "difficult road back to recovery."
