Amitabh Bachchan to Hrithik Roshan: Celebrities who have suffered severe health issues

While the fans fall immensely in love with actors on the silver screen, they often tend to be unaware of the struggle that goes on behind the lens. Actors are often seen with a smile glued to their face, polite and put together, but there are severe battles being fought under the surface. From Amitabh Bachchan surviving on 25% of his liver to Deepika Padukone battling depression and we don’t even spot a flaw when they step out in public. Here are some of the celebrities and their severe health issues.

Celebrities who have suffered severe health issues

Amitabh Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan had a near-death accident on the sets of Coolie post which he suffered from TB. Big B had also opened up about being a Hepatitis B survivor and he is now surviving only on 25 per cent of his liver. In an interview, the actor had said, ”I keep quoting my personal example all the time and try and propagate the idea of getting yourself detected. I don’t mind saying this publicly. I am a tuberculosis survivor, Hepatitis B survivor… Bad blood infusion went in and 75 per cent of my liver is gone but because I was able to detect it, even after a period of 20 years when 75 per cent of my liver is gone, I am still surviving on 25 per cent.”

In 2017, talking about it she said, ‘There was a period, approximately three years ago, I’d go from happy to be completely depressed and not knowing what it was.

Sneha Ullal

Lucky actress Sneha Ullal revealed that she suffered from an immune disorder. She had said in an interview with ETimes, ”I was diagnosed with an ‘auto immune disorder’. It’s a blood-related illness where my own immune system kept me unwell. So my body would become so weak that I would not be able to stand on my feet for more than 30 to 40 minutes and because I kept shooting for films even with this illness, it got worse. Beyond a point, I didn’t have the strength to do what an actress is expected to do — running around, dancing and continuous shooting etc. That’s when I had to stop and start my medication, because, there was no point in doing films and then falling sick every other day.”
