Pakistani actor, Fawad Khan is best remembered for his short yet successful career in the Hindi film industry, courtesy of his films like Khoobsurat, Kapoor And Sons, and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Despite his short career span in Bollywood, he had gathered a huge fan base, and especially his female fans go weak in their knees due to his charming and handsome looks. And now, in a recent interview, Fawad opened up on some unheard anecdotes about his life.
In a recent interaction with the YouTube channel, FreeStyle Middle East, Fawad Khan revealed that he had been diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes at the age of 17. Looking back at his seemingly unhealthy lifestyle, the actor commented that he had lost about 10 kgs of weight in mere 10 days. Moreover, he ran a high fever for consecutive days, which led to his doctors testing him. And to their surprise they found out that his blood sugar levels had shot up to a whopping 600. He also mentioned how gradually he understood the seriousness of his condition and had a massive emotional breakdown. Speaking more about it, he mentioned:
“I used to be 65 kgs and went down to 55 kgs at the age of 17. I was given insulin and I have been on insulin since the age of 17 and today, I am 41 so it has been a career in Diabetes for 24 years. To be very honest, when I was in the hospital it didn’t hit me as hard as it hit my father. My father’s a very emotionally stable person. First 2-3 days, it didn’t really hit me. I think it was a trip back from Rawalpindi once. I was sitting in the backseat and it was the first time I think I broke down and I started crying and I was like ‘why did this happen to me?”
