Fatima Sana Shaikh, ahead of Metro… In Dino release, opened up about living with epilepsy and recalled a frightening episode of experiencing multiple seizures. In an interview with Humans of Bombay, Fatima Sana Shaikh opened up about a severe epilepsy episode she experienced while travelling to the U.S. via Dubai. She shared, “I had a major episode when I had multiple seizures. I was travelling to the USA and it was via Dubai flight. I got seizures on the flight. Then I was taken to the airport hospitals, I was given the medication but then also my seizures weren’t stopping. Then they gave me a very high dose. I was on different chemicals and I was already on a different chemical. I was working on two different films then and I had to cancel shoots. I could not get out of bed and cried when someone called for a shoot. My emotions were all over the place. I was like this is my reality now. At that time I accepted that this is my disease and people also should know about it as it will help others.” Fatima will also star alongside R Madhavan in the romantic comedy Aap Jaisa Koi, which premieres on Netflix on July 11.
