Interesting and Lesser
Known Facts
-
Dr. Shanti Roy was
conferred with Padma Shree Award by the Government of India for 2020. This
was quite a long overdue. She received the Award by the President on 9th November, 2021. On a side note, it has also raised some questions. Shanti Roy is now charging Rs. 2000 as consultation fee. Rs. 1000 will be returned to you, if you buy medicine from her own shop. That is an unethical business practice for a doctor of such a high reputation (some say that she is just trying to let patient gets original medicine).
