OMG! Sushmita Sen had to take steroids every 8 hours to stay alive

Bollywood actress Sushmita Sen likes to live her life to the fullest and unequivocally is her own person. The former Miss Universe has always made bold choices and doesn’t care about perceptions. Now, Sushmita appeared on film critic Rajeev Masand’s show ‘Women We Love’ and was at her candid best. Sushmita during the show talked about her health issues.

The ‘Samay’ actress had suffered a life-threatening disease. Sush opened up about her health issues and said, “2014, I finished shooting ‘Nirbaak’, my Bengali film and I fell violently sick. And we could not figure out what had happened. And then a ray of tests took place and we discovered that after of course fainting finally and falling down and being rushed to the hospital, that there is a hormone in the body which is called Cortisol. So, my adrenal glands had stopped making it.”

She further added, “I was lucky to come out of that fainting spell because I had gone into an adrenal crisis. So, the next thing after that would have been my organs backing up one by one. But for some reason, I came back from it and was declared steroid dependent for life which means that I had to take a medicine called hydrocortisone, which is a steroid every 8 hours to stay alive because the body no longer made that and needless to say, started the next two years of so much of trauma because I am in the public eye, I am a former Miss Universe, supposed to be this very beautiful woman and I have hair that’s falling and I am looking at it every day, I have become moon-faced and I have steroid deposits.”

Sushmita during the conversation also stated that for a very long time she didn’t know how to react to it “and then I stopped the steroids and from 2016 October until 2018 August, last year, I went through the worst withdrawal symptoms possible.”

Sushmita Sen’s story is truly inspiring and it is also quite emotional as well. The actress though is currently going through a happy phase and is dating model Rohman Shawl.
