COVID-19 infected veteran actress Sarah Begum Kabori was put on life support at Sheikh Russel National Gastroliver Institute & Hospital in Dhaka around 4:00pm Thursday as her condition deteriorated.
Condition of her lungs isn’t well, the hospital’s director Faruq Ahmed told journalists.
Kabori’s son Shaker Chisty said in a video message that oxygen level in her blood is fluctuating. “She is battling hard,” he said.

On April 8, she was shifted to the intensive care unit of Sheikh Russel National Gastroliver Institute & Hospital in Mohakhali.
Kabori started her acting career by appearing in Subhash Dutta directed film Sutorang in 1964.
She took home the Bangladesh National Film Award for Best Actress for her role in Sareng Bou (1978).
In 2006, she made her debut as a filmmaker by directing the film Ayna. Her latest project titled Ei Tumi Shei Tumi is currently in the making.
