Day after singer Justin Bieber revealed that he has been suffering from Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, TV actress Aishwarya Sakhuja has opened up about her battle with the virus that causes partial face paralysis. She was diagnosed with the same when she was shooting back-to-back episodes for her TV show, Main Naa Bhoolungi, in 2014. She initially thought it was a sign of exhaustion due to work pressure.
Opening about this episode, she told The Times Of India in an interview, “We were shooting back-to-back as we had a wedding sequence coming up. I vividly remember I had a 2 p.m shift the next day and the night prior, Rohit (her then-boyfriend and now husband) kept asking me why I was winking at him. I thought this was one of his silly jokes and did not react to it. The next morning, when I went to brush my teeth, I had a tough time holding water in my mouth while rinsing. At that time too, I thought it was exertion.
She said it was her roommate, actor Pooja Sharma, who noticed something was off and asked her if she felt ok as her face “didn’t look normal.”
Just recently, Justin canceled his upcoming events to take time off to get better and recover from this virus. “The storm shall pass”, he says and asks his fans to pray for him.
