He will start walking and running, hopefully. I have a lot of faith in him. I hope you can see him back on the ground,” his younger brother Virendra Kambli said.

Virendra Kambli also urged everyone to pray for the better of his older brother. “He underwent rehab for 10 days. He got an entire body check-up done, including brain scans and a urine test. The results were fine; there weren’t too many issues, but since he couldn’t walk, he was advised to undergo physiotherapy. He still slurs in his speech, but he is getting better. I just want to tell people who pray for him, so that he gets better. He needs your love and support,“.

In a podcast with journalist Suryanshi Pandey, Andrea shared that she once thought about leaving Vinod Kambli but decided against it, as she was always concerned about his health.

“He will be helpless if I leave him. He is like a child, and that hurts me. It makes me feel worried. I would not even leave a friend, but he is more than that. I remember there were moments when I would just walk away. But then I would be worried: Has he eaten or not? Is he on the bed properly? Is he okay? Then I had to check on him, and I would understand that he needed me,” she said.
