Arjun Bijlani on His Fatal Appendix Surgery
Talking about his health recovery with Hindustan Times, Arjun shared, “It is like my second life because that appendix was so big. It was about to burst. I reached the hospital just in time due to which they got me operated immediately”. Arujn also revealed how he initially dismissed the health crisis as a mere stomachache, unaware of how serious it could be. He said, “One month back, I had an episode of stomach ache. I stopped the shoot and took some rest in the vanity van after having painkillers. I didn’t think about it much…. This time, when I had a stomach ache, I had the medicine again, but it didn’t give me any relief. That’s when I had to rush to the emergency where I got to know about my appendix. And I was operated on,” he says, adding. “I got saved, even the doctor said this to me. It could have been fatal and worse for me.”
Arjun was scared to get it operated and asked doctors “If they could give some tablets. But they refused and told me that I was lucky that it has not burst till now.”
Following his discharge from the hospital, the actor is prioritising his health and taking things at a slower pace. “I am technically working at the moment. Some close-ups were done the day after the surgery, and recently some camera guys came and shot closeups at my place too. But I start shooting on set on Sunday. I will be taking it slow, and not stretching myself. I can’t run, jump, or pick heavy stuff. I am taking it easy. It is about my life and health.” Arjun told the news portal.
Arjun Bijlani will be getting back to shooting from Sunday. He will be shooting for the drama Pyaar Ka Pehla Adhyaya: Shiv Shakti, where he plays Dr. Shiv Kashyap. He concluded by a sharing of piece of advice for everyone, “My advice to people is that if your stomach ache is not going, please get an ultrasound done. Don’t ignore your health. Because I was literally saved in the nick of time.”
