TV, web and adult actor, Gehana Vasisth, is fast recovering from her recent near-fatal cardiac arrest episode. “I am well now, and have even resumed work. I have even shot for a web series and for my app.”
Gehana had collapsed during shoot and had to be hospitalized. “For a while, it was touch and go. I was in coma for 2 days, but could recover for I was given medical treatment on time.”
“That one week was horrible, for now the entire world knows about my 8 year-old diabetic condition. Till now, I was managing well. I only collapsed because after taking insulin, you need to eat something. But there was no arrangement for food on that fateful day and my sugar levels dropped dangerously, triggering the above cardiac trouble.”
“Had it happened at home, I would have quietly rushed to the hospital and none would have been the wiser. Now, whenever I go for work meetings, my diabetes issue crops up, with people wondering whether I will be fine and be able to take the stress of shoot.”
“Just how insensitive some people can be. I just shot for a short film, whose producer made me sign a document that said that if I fall ill on his set, he will not be responsible.”
What care are you taking to prevent a reoccurrence? “I am now taking all precautions, by carrying my own food and sweets to set. I am also on proper meds. I have even started mild workout, which also helps in keeping sugars levels under check. Some people might say that I could have taken a longer break, but I need to dispel rumours that I am a weak. person. Gehana is strong.”
“However, all is not bad. This incident made me realize that there are many people who care for too. Many people rushed from Bangalore on reading the news. The entire unit of Gandii Baat was there throughout.” She got a lot of fame, courtesy her recent stint in the above Alt Balaji erotica show’s 3rd season.
“I wish to thank all those who came, and even those who prayed for me at home.”
On the work front, she has 3 hotshot web series, which will go live soon. “I have produced and directed one of them. I am also shooting very attractive stuff for my app.”
What about the status of that web series where u collapsed? “Luckily, we had shot most of it, so only a little montage work is left, which might or might not need me. I am ready to shoot if asked by the makers.”
