Ayushmann Khurrana's 'Dream Girl' co-star Ryinku Singh Nikumbh passes away due to COVID-19Ayushmann Khurrana’s ‘Dream Girl’ co-star, Ryinku Singh Nikumbh passed away on Wednesday, (June 2) due to COVID-19 complications.

Ryinku's cousin Chanda Singh Nikumbh told BollywoodLife that she was suffering from the virus since the past few days and was admitted to the hospital. The actor was also suffering from asthma.

"On May 25, she had tested positive and was under home isolation. Since her fever was not coming down, we decided to shift her to a hospital after a few days. In the hospital, the doctors didn’t feel that she required an ICU bed and she was in a normal COVID ward initially. The next day, she was shifted to the ICU. She was recovering well in the ICU as well until the day of her demise. In the end, she was losing hope and felt that she couldn’t survive. She was an Asthma patient as well,” she said.

“She was full of energy and a bundle of happiness. Even in the hospital while she was struggling, she was helping other patients. That’s a huge thing," Chanda added while revealing that Ryinku got the first jab of the coronavirus vaccine on May 7 and was due for her second dose soon.

"She was considering going to Goa for an ad shoot recently, but we didn’t let her go as we wanted to protect her from COVID. Who knew, she would be infected at home," Chanda said.

Ryinku was last seen in Aadar Jain-Jackie Shroff starrer ‘Hello Charlie’ in 2021. Apart from acting in films, she also worked in TV serial ‘Chidiyaghar’, ‘Meri Haanikarak Biwi’, among others.
