Actress Kajal Aggarwal wrote about being diagnosed with bronchial asthma at the age of five. Kajal took to her Instagram page and shared a note about her dietary restrictions. Kajal also wrote about how inhalers are important and had to steer clear of dairy and chocolates. She wrote, “There’s nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to using an inhaler, privately or publicly.”
Kajal further added, “At the age of five, I was diagnosed with bronchial Asthma, the first thing I remember was having major dietary restrictions. Imagine a kid who had to steer clear of dairy and chocolate. And it’s not like it got any easier as I grew up. Every travel, winter, or every time I was exposed to any sort of dust or smoke, something that’s prevalent in our country, my symptoms flared up. To deal with such things in the best possible way, I started using inhalers. And I noticed a change almost instantly.”
The actor further wrote, “Now it’s the one thing that I make sure to always carry with me. Sure I get the odd question or a judgemental look now and then. And while it does not bother me, there are millions of people in our country who need inhalers, but choose not to use them because of this very problem – social stigma.”
Kajal concluded by stating, “And to help India realise this, today I #SayYesToInhalers, and I urge my friends, followers & family to join me. We need all the help & support we can muster to spread awareness about asthma and the use of inhalers.”
