Navkirat Sodhi was immediately taken to the hospital, and doctors told her husband, Gaurav Gupta, that his wife's 55 per cent body had been burnt. As per reports, Navkirat went through eight different surgeries during her medical treatment. It was a devastating moment for Gaurav and both the families because Navkirat had a survival chance of just 50 per cent. Due to life-threatening injuries, Navkirat Sodhi was treated in the ICU for the next 2.5 months. However, due to her determination and resilience, Navkirat succeeded in coming out of the near-death situation in the following months.
