The ‘Main Hoon Na’ actress took to her YouTube channel and sharing a video she revealed how practising meditation with Nunchaku helped her heal. Alongside the video, the actress also shared an inspiring message as she wrote, After I was diagnosed with an Autoimmune condition called Addison’s disease in September 2014, it left me feeling like, I had no fight left in me…A fatigued body filled with immense frustration & aggression. The dark circles under my eyes can’t even begin to explain the dark times I endured for 4 long years 🙂 To have steroids substitute cortisol & to live with its innumerable side effects took its toll.”

Nunchaku is a martial arts weapon, traditionally used in the Okinawan style.

She further added, There is NOTHING more tiring than to live with a chronic illness. Enough was enough, I had to find a way of strengthening my mind, allowing my body to follow suit. I meditated with #Nunchaku :)) Aggression out, fight back in & pain turned into an art form 🙂 I healed in time, my Adrenal glands woke up, no more steroids, no withdrawals & NO AUTO IMMUNE CONDITION as of 2019. :)) Lesson: NO ONE KNOWS YOUR BODY BETTER THAN YOU, LISTEN TO IT. 🙂

Sushmita even thanked her teacher for helping her on this journey. And we are absolutely in awe of her.

Meanwhile, on the work front, she will be next seen in  Disney Plus Hotstar web-series, ‘Aarya’.
