Zeenat Aman shares how son Zahaan Khan saved her life

Zeenat Aman revealed that she lodged in her throat and she was struggling to breathe. She took to Instagram and shared a long note in which she stated being choked due to her blood pressure medication. During that time, she contacted a doctor after calling her son Zahaan Khan for assistance. She shared the life lesson she learned from the entire episode with her followers.

On January 21, Zeenat Aman was shooting at a studio in Andheri East. Sharing the long note, she wrote, “At the risk of sounding like an old lady suffocating on her tablets, allow me to share with you what happened last night. I popped the pill into my mouth, took a sip of water, and then felt my breath catch. There it was, this little pill lodged in my throat. Too far down to regurgitate and too far up to swallow. I could still breathe, but it was restricted. I took another drink of water, and then another and another, until the glass was empty but the pill remained stuck.”

Zahaan landed up, we finally got through to the doctor who said it would dissolve in time, and I spent the next few hours sipping warm water and waiting. There will always be difficult times in one’s life that demands less action and more patience. The pill is a metaphor for that situation. It was all I could think about, it’s discomfort was intense, I sought solutions from others, but ultimately all I could do was practice patience and control over my own fears. And then when it dissolved – it was good for me.”

She added, “Sometimes it’s important to tackle an issue head-on. To confront, challenge, change. But sometimes a situation requires those other softer acts of patience, restraint and equanimity.”
