There were reports after that she’d suffered from a stroke and was in the ICU, claims that her daughter Christina put to rest.
Christina explained in a video: “I just wanted to give you guys some peace of mind. My mom is okay. She’s doing well. We are doing everything that we can to make sure that she’s healthy and that she continues to do well. We hear all of you guys, we see all of you guys, and we want to thank you for your concern.
“We again will do everything in our power to make sure that my mom gets whatever care she needs and we are on it. If you know anything about me, I was on it from the moment that I spoke to her. We will keep you posted and let you know what’s going on as much as we can.”

After Jenny returned to India, scans confirmed that she had ALS. She told People: “At first, we tried to keep it private because it’s been very emotional and overwhelming for us. We were hoping to find some kind of solution before speaking publicly. But after trying for some time, we feel like it’s time to reach out.”
